David Fischer This has been rotting away in my wishlist ever since its release; take these words as an oath that this will not happen again. Grima and the accordeon, what a wonderful story. Although it's only used sparingly on Rotten Garden, it adds an unique touch of Russian folklore to the music. I enjoy the overall sound a ton - like sitting around a warm campfire on a frozen, enchanted forest glade in the middle of the darkest night. Thrumming bass, ferocious vocals - and accordeon. Grand atmosphere. Favorite track: Rotten Garden.

mourner For me this is their best release yet. The way they combine ice cold sounds with wonderful melodies and traditional instruments and different (yet all fierce) vocal approaches is breathtakingly good and quite unique. The songwriting skills are also top notch. A true masterpiece 🖤

p3tunie Third album and still great. All songs keep the high level throughout and thus another masterpiece from Siberia! Favorite track: Rotten Garden.

sashavonkarl74 If the band's ambition was "just to" reproduce old melodic BM classics like Dissection and early Emperor, I'd say it is a grand success, shit even the cover art reminds me of the "Storm" album... However, I wish this album had a bit more personality to it. These guys are from the U.K., after all. The first half is majestic, the second half a bit less. Still it's a very enjoyable melodic BM album. Favorite track: Lunar Hex; The Art Of Mighty Lycanthropy.

stevenamckay I miss Dissection, but these guys are keeping that spirit alive. Superb album! Favorite track: The Dread March Of Solemn Gods.

Dan Hébert A great blend of Dissection and Emperor. Gorgeous album art, too. Favorite track: Strigoi Diabolicum.

RJ High fidelity, high fantasy fueled melodic black metal. The performance is tight and the production is crisp. A solid and well rounded EP. This is my first exposure to Ninkharsag and I am looking forward to exploring their entire discography. 7/10 Favorite track: Beneath The Cloak Of Nightfall.

Venombullet666 Not a single second of this EP comes across as filler, it is perfectly crafted from start to finish and is an amazing continuation from their most recent full-length "The Dread March Of Solemn Gods"

Everything about this release is just perfect, all fans of Black Metal should give this at least one listening to Favorite track: The Grave Sworn Lords.

Frosty Bear The Dread March of Solemn Gods is a modern black metal masterpiece. I couldn’t wait for this EP. It doesn’t hit me as hard as the aforementioned (save for the last track, but it’s still a worthy inclusion in their discography. Favorite track: Beneath The Cloak Of Nightfall.

Ville One of the most beautiful albums I have heard in a long while. Favorite track: Pale Night.

sashavonkarl74 Brazilian melodic/atmospheric BM outfit now signed with Northern Silence, so happy to see this new release! I really liked their previous full-length "Follow the Cold Path".

Brazil has a lot to offer when it comes to the known colder sound usually from Scandinavia... this is another opus there to prove it! Highly recommended if you like melodic black metal!

FFO Land of Fog, Outlaw, and The Kryptik. Favorite track: Forgotten Wolves.
