"When Shadows Fall" is a pleasant surprise!A bit oxymoron,thus the matterial is dark,slow and surrounded in a doomy veil.

Although the doom influences existed always in the band,here we are dealing with compositions that have a straight reference to Sweeden,in the prototypes of Memento Mori,Candlemass(especially Chapter VI-era)and even Sorcerer..Very meticulous compositions,with "dark" performances,create the "absolute" atmosphere.

I believe that titles like "Mistress Of The Sea","Ghost Ship","Serpent's Eye","Kingdom Of Fire" and "Lost",are fully representatives of what is next to come...Another OPUS!!!
