![]() This first track, "In The Mist She Was Standing", is very characteristic of early Opeth: very long passages without any vocals (in particular the intro - really catchy) and then the black metal growls... I'm not at all favorable to this type of vocals on such music, it kinda doesn't fit well and spoil the atmosphere a bit. "Under The Weeping Moon" is ok, but not great. "Silhouette" is pure classic music: this is not Mozart, but this little piano piece is really well executed. "Forest Of October" is one of the two songs ever written by the band as Opeth and one of my favorites from early Opeth: the acoustic parts here really fit well and the extreme vocals are ok on the heavier and faster parts (songs like this made people call Opeth's music "forest metal", because many songs talk about forests...). "The Twilight Is My Robe" shows again a mix of mellow and heavy parts, with extreme vocals on the slow parts (too bad, with clean vocals it would have been a really good song). "Requiem" is a short acoustic instrumental which continues on "The Apostle In Triumph": very apostolic music indeed (nice intro by the way), with even french folk music influences (which will later appear again on "Black Rose Immortal"). Rating: 89/100
