Finally ! A band that can play DISSECTION's unique take on Swedish black/death metal style as flawlessly as Jon Nödtveidt and his band.

The album kicks off with "In the Realm of a Thousand Deaths", a short instrumental not dissimilar from "At the Fathomless Depths" ... setting the mood for the eight songs that constitute the ultimate tribute to DISSECTION.

It's all there. The harsh (in the best sense of the word) production, the "icy" tremolo picked melodies, the acoustics, the tremendous lead guitar work, and of course, the twin guitar assault / harmonies / flawless counterpoint songwriting.

This is what the third DISSECTION album should have sounded like, and to call Thulcandra a "copycat" and a "clone" is an insult to a band that obviously took their time to craft this black/death metal masterpiece. Stefen Kummerer stated in an interview that this album took several years in the making, and from the quality of the music, and the multi-layered guitarwork, this is apparent. The songs are catchy enough to grab you from the first listen, and complex/layered enough to maintain your interest and grow on you through repeated listens.

I don't see the strong DISSECTION influences as a cheap imitation, rather, this black/death metal assault that never compromises its sense of melody is the continuation of the musical foundations set by Jon Nödtveidt.

Thank you, THULCANDRA, for bringing back to life a musical style that many thought died with DISSECTION and no band could quite reproduce, although many attempted.
