This is surprisingly good! Stars Hunter and Silver Key are amazing songs. The sax solo at the end of Stars Hunter is very cool. They have a bit of an Eternal Storm vibe.

Very impressive album, with some stunning acoustic melodies, tasty riffs, great solo's, and even some impressive jazz influences thrown in. I really like the track "Dry Land", especially with the clean vocals, it gives me some Amorphis and Insomnium vibes.

Definite Insomnium vibes on this album, particularly the title track, but the lead guitar riffs in the vein of Dark Tranquillity/Mors Principium Est on Rotten Bond are great too; it's been a fallow year for melodeath after last year, but this is one of the standout releases for me
