My favorite Trhä releases are the ones where the cryptic melancholy is counterbalanced by pure shit-kicking venom. This is one of them for sure. Riff to riff there's an incredibly broad range of emotions expressed (and nuanced ones too), but the overall impression for me is bitter pain met with strength, defiance and ultimately triumph. Remarkably for bm there's a real joyfulness here, but it's been touched by suffering, which only makes it more powerful. Unconquerable even. Awesome release.
