Surprising I hear NARGAROTH often compared to GRAVELAND, as they really sound nothing alike, at least not this album. The biggest influence I hear is early SATYRICON (which this cd is in the vein of almost 100%!!). Most songs are around 10-15 minutes, and get quite boring after they're half over. Even so, this is probably better than 75% of all the "Nordic" styled trash I've heard in the last 3-4 years (including bands from Norway itself!), as there is hateful feeling present (something your typical "Norsecore" severly lacks). But this really is not my cup of tea musically...
