Their best. Really! - 90%

Okay, okay, so perhaps I'm not a trĂ¼ fan. I only have this because it was with the bonus material on Vs. the World.

It's excellent. I'll go track by track and hope no one kills me.. only three songs so it shouldn't bore anyone too much.

Burning Creation: Great song. Good vocal delivery, catchy-as-fuck tremelo picked riffing, an fairly simple but lovely guitar solo, neat lyrics about Ragnarok (these lads favorite topic, it seems), gods dying, as suchlike. Overall, a winner of a song, that no one else I've met but the.. ahem. I'd better not go there, but no one of import.

Arrival Of The Fimbulwinter: More awesome not-gothenburg melodeath. Not as strong as the previous track, but still good. Half the lyrics are left out in the liner notes and I suck and can't figure them out.. but I'm sure they're as good as the rest which is awesome.
The Riff (capital R or Quality. Erm.) at 0:30 has been known to kill people. It's quite good.

Without Fear: BLEARG! Victory. Excellent closer, good lyrics (again!) More catchy melodies, tr00 Norsk Arysk lyrics, and some more catchy melodies including an absolutely orgasmic one at 0:50 that they bring up a couple more times in the song, and should have played a lot more. Another excellent solo that fits the mood of the song perfectly..

WITHOUT FEAR I DIE!!!

Most excellent.

Even if you don't like melodeath, this is worth a listen, this person believes. It's not gaythenburg, so you can keep some of your claim to grymness.. hell, Mayhem had a lot of melody. Not this much, but they were true enough for anyone, so you'll only go gay if you listen to this incessantly. I've tried to avoid courting that possibility, but this is just.. so..fun..

Not a must have, but it's worth conquering melodophobia for 14:10 it takes for a listen. Recommended.
