What a better way to follow up your twentieth-anniversary album and half your lineup leaving than with the most heartfelt celebration yet of the lands you come from?is much more joyous than one would imagine an album about such an inhospitable place would be, but that is what makes it feel so much more authentic. You can clearly tell that everyone involved in it had a fucking blast making this; even at its harshest,shows its love for the true north. And it is with this love that Borknagar crafted this amazingly cohesive album with great flow, which still pushes some boundaries for the band even at this point.
