From the artwork, it isn't a great leap of the imagination to suggest that this is a concoction of Scandinavian folk music and black metal - sure, one might also find this for a post-rock album (of which this contains small elements), but it is a typical cover nonetheless. What is not typical is the approach on this - a repetitive riff structure serves as a hypnotic aid, but not in a similar way to Burzum; indeed, this feels all too peaceful to be similar to that. Harsh vocals are made conspicuous by their absence. Altogether, this is an odd album, certainly more unusual than LIK's other material, but one which I find enjoyable (although it's not one to listen to every day).
