This is easily Darkseed's best album, and the best gothic/extreme metal album I've ever heard. It's a damn shame this album doesn't get more attention, as it's a masterpiece. The heaviness is balanced by a real atmosphere provided by the synth, and Stefan's vocals are a perfect mix of clean singing and death vocals that are intelligible. Guitar work is also extremely good, and the song 'Downwards' has one of my favorite solos of all time. HIGHLY recommended.
Favorite track: Downwards.
