3rd album by Book Of Black Earth. The keyboard element found on 2008’s release, Horoskopus, is not present, giving the songs a crustier, more guitar-oriented sound. So, we have a perfect mix of blackened death metal with a more crustier attitude/sound, nice black oriented riffs with interesting melodies.

Debut album by Korpiklaani. Ridiculously catchy tunes, guitar solos and alcohol can be found throughout the album. Korpiklaani preferred to focus more on a happy, partying sound rather than an epic one, using real live folk instruments, namely the violin, the whistle, the accordion and the jouhikko. This is the Korpiklaani album featuring the highest number of instrumentals.
