On this vast triple album from Finnish doom-metal lords Swallow the Sun, each side represents a journey through specific realms of atmospheric metal, intense prog and melodic doom. I swings from the thundering churn of “10 Silver Bullets” to the space opera of “Heartstrings Shattering”, while the acoustic II evokes a contemplative soundscape, with “Songs from the North” the aching centrepiece. III makes for a furiously bleak finish, with “The Gathering of the Black Moths” announcing the band’s punishing vision.
