After the demo and their appearance at the Inferno Festival I wasn’t too excited about the debut album from the folk metal band Lumsk. I know that many people like this band a lot, but for me it just didn’t click. Now, after listening through the CD several times, I have changed my mind a bit. I think that the overall of this CD is heavier than what I’m used to with Lumsk. Still I think that Lumsk would have received more points from me if they also used a grim vocal, since the rest of the CD contains a lot of brilliant work. It`s for sure that they are great musicians, but I think that the sound is a bit too plain. Not as good as the debut of Ásmegin, but this really is a well-made record and this is definitely not the last time you’ll here about Lumsk! 7,5/10
