irlude
5 stars This is one of POS most accessible albuns, and I will tell you why. It has such a variety of styles that it can be listenable by any human on earth, anybody will like at least one track of this album. While there is the tradicional pain of salvation on very few songs like "Deus Nova" and "Nihil Morari", you'll be listening to a whole new sound to the band standards, and I can assure you, this was one very big step Mr. Gildenlöw made here. Folk songs like "Imago" and "Martius/Nauticus II"; rap influenced songs like "Lilium Cruentus" and "Diffidentia"; beautiful mellow songs like "Omni" and "Iter Impius"(This one has one of the best vocal performances I've ever seen); very different songs like "Nauticus" and "Vocari Dei"(Very touchy song, I almost cried first time I heard it); and for the end, I must mention one marvellous mindblowing epic: Dea Pecuniae, a mix of Jazz and Soul, a really, really beautiful song. Ok, I'm finished with the songs, now let me tell about the genious concept this album presents. It is the result of almost ten years of "research" by Daniel. It mixes many different and philosophical themes, like God and Existence itself, the egoism of mankind (this one was already explored on the second album by the band 'One Hour by the Concrete Lake' but Daniel wasn't satisfied with it, so he explored it in a new way) . This album takes you on a journey and it really makes you think about the themes it presents. That's all I can say, Be captivated me since my first listen and still continues to amaze me everytime I listen to it. Just one little piece of advise: Do not just listen to it, do it reading the lyrics, I can assure you will enjoy it even more. I can't give it less than 5 stars.
