I always love when a band experiments with something new, and it works. This time, a Finnish death metal band decided to experiment with maritime sounding music and traditional Finnish lyrics. The result? A minor masterpiece.

One warning: Some ridiculous sounding clean vocals lurk around every corner on this album. BEWARE!!

Standout tracks: The Castaway, Black Winter Day, Magic and Mayhem

Grade for those too lazy or illiterate to read the review: B+
