 5 stars. I don’t really understand why some masterpieces, as this one, haven’t got this label as such. We find in this album all the greatness from the 70′s plus a fantastic production that few bands achieve on their first record.
 Dark atmosphere accompanied by visceral feelings that make you go deeper into your mind. I can’t avoid naming Van Der Graaf Generator as their biggest influence and AREKNAMÉS is one of the bands that approach the unique sound generated by them, just tremendous!

 The singer sometimes delivers vocal melodies that make you think of Peter Hammill’s unique way of creating tension.

Very close to Van Der Graaf generator, but not lacking originality. AMAZING!
