The first two songs, Irjala and Nocturnal Fire belong together in my opinion. They form the perfect start to an album and are always a pleasure to listen to. These two tracks alone, played right after one another, are in my opinion better than most full albums ever could strife to be. Clocking in at a combined 18:40 minutes, it's a solid amount of time as well.

Next, there is another double-track; Ember and Ash and Utmed Gyllbergens Stig. Ember and Ash is an accoustic interlude, 44 seconds long, and leads perfectly into the start of Utmed Gyllbergens Stig, which is an instrumental track. These are great for studying, as they don't have distracting vocals.

Now comes probably the highlight of the album, As Death Comes Reaping. Beatiful guitar work, accompanied by amazing vocals and backing instruments. I cannot get over how good this track is. It's truly a shame it doesn't get as much play time live as other tracks.

The closing track, Celestial Will ends the album in a satisfying way and also features some great guitar work as per usual. There's not much more left to say, the album fantastic and in my opinion a must-listen if you enjoy this kind of music.
