"...and adds a synth, which really lifts this CD from a mediocre release to an innovative one. (Actually, this was released before Dissection's first, so disregard that comment) Fans of the Swedish melodic black/death scene will dig this and their subsequent album "Ancient God of Evil", which leans more toward Dissection-patented style of black metal. The song "In the Forest of the Dreaming Dead" is quite different from the rest of the release as it uses clean voices and tones down the brutality a bit. The track "Silence Ends" is included on the Blackened 1 compilation, so if you are not sure about this, check that out first. This is a highly reccomended black/death album that stands on its own in the genre, thanks to the synths."
