This cd is awsome... I guess you could/would classify this music as Gothic black metal..from the first song to the last song its just a memorable cd... if they had the samplers on here u could get a hint of the music... but they dont but if i had to say what they sounded like it would be a classical (infulenced)emperor mixed with thy serpent..but highlights for me are would be the 1st song with the catchy tripple picking rythm and the second song for the great melodic choirs behind the vocals...GREAT CD!... i love these guys now...
