the master of doom metal and mastermind of Candlemass finally releases his solo album .and as a big fan of Candlemass I didn't think twice before I buy the album .the album contains 8 tracks that basically are great combination of what we use to get from Candlemass and tiamt ,lot of funeral keyboards that remind me the work of tiamat in their wildhony album ,and the slow heavy distortion guitar in the vain of black Sabbath {that are the godfathers for Candlemass ,tiamat ,and many others}great combination and Mr.,edling do great job as vocalist and guitarist {if I am not wrong for the first time }together with his great bass playing,the musicians that join him in this album ,Mr. Carl Westholm the keyboards session with Candlemass between 97-99, tiamat drummer Mr. Lars Skold and 2 guitarists-Mr. Bjorn Eriksson and Mr. Chris Laney are doing a great job as well,all this forward take us to the best track on the album and one of the best in this genre -Nautilus .almost 10 min track that express all the good thing in this kind of music,and remind me why I love this kind of music for the first place .the track begin with water noise and the unique keyboards sound of water drupe that we know from pink Floyd -Echoes way back to 1971 in the meddle album ,and then like storm in the ocean came superb guitar work ,heavy tendering and roaring guitar together with Psychedelic echoing clean sound guitar that sound very dramatic and hunting ,the water drop sound keyboards led you all the way until nautilus diving and its end like its began,just like echoes but shorter-echoes was 23 min nautilus just 9.32 min ,but every min is pure gold ,this track are worth the price of the album alone,if you read this review I believe you interesting in this kind of music so don't hesitate buy this album you wont disappoint but take care-don't listen if you in bad mood .to drunk .under the hanging tree or to close to razor blade pack ,its a killer album,well done Mr. edling ,I am waiting for your next album {a double album full of nautilus submarines is my wet dream }highly recommended ,buy or die ,amirRead full review
I really wish Leif would relieve vocal duties to someone else. The music and his vision is really good on this but the vocals just t for me. Great doomy music in typical Leif style. I would recommend this to Candlemass followers only to have this in their collection. I may give this another listen after a smoke.

I bought this CD as a gift for my brother, but I did pause to listen to it myself. The music is top notch, and the quality of the CD itself is the highest. I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
