Rating: 7 Maybe if this album was shorter it could have been an awesome release, it has all the material that brought attention to the band. They wasted the oportunity to use those nice oriental elements that you can hear in some songs (for example in "Fall To Rise"), the idea was great but they didn't used them at their max point. On the other side, I liked the lyrics a lot.

BTW the Cacophony cover is a FUCKING KILLER!!! My favorite song from the album.

  Blistering album. Best of 2010 for me, beside Gorod's Process of a New Decline.

  Totally horrible live band.

you don't know what you're talking about. I've seen them yesterday at Metalfest Open Air in Hungary and they played the best show on the whole festival, even though I had my problems with the clean vocals too.

I saw them live and they were really bad. No flow going. All over the place. Couldn't make their minds up as what sort of music they wanted to play, it seems.

Rating: 9 Quite overcomplicated album. Persefone doesn't make it easy for listener and it's not very good. They shoud be more humble in songwriting next time. But even thought after some time I was smashed by the power of their vision, transformed in genuine, multilayered music entwined by rich palette of emotions.
Well, good old Persefone hasn's disappear.
And drummer is still flawless, too:gunner:

  Lol this title is quite similiar to the german word "Schinken" which means ham...
I laughed my ass off first time reading this hahahahaha

  In retrospect, I like this better than Core. *Gasp*
Better riffs, more interesting ideas and the lyrics kick serious ass. Plus, it certainly sounds more technical and there are enough nuances to last for hundreds and hundreds of listens. They use power metal influences sparingly and have a very groovy drive on this album, with satisfying progressive metal riffs. Rage Stained Blade's early riffs are just mind-blowing. Try NOT headbanging to that song. And Purity...how PERFECT is that song? Who would have predicted this kind of album after Core?
I sure hope I find someone in my lifetime that agrees with me on how monumental this album was. The style of the band inspired many imitations (including Whispered) and I think this will remain my top metal album of 2009. Absolutely stellar.
