Alas, another outstanding release from Midnight Syndicate. All of the haunting atmosphere of previous releases returns. Eighteen tracks, plus three bonus tracks from the soundtrack of the upcoming film 'The Dead Matter' are included here. Every track is carefully crafted just as you'd expect from this talented band. Some of the Ancient Egyptian themed later tracks like 'Tear of Osiris' and 'Forging the Scarab' are an especially interesting twist. The bonus tracks are 'gothic rock' oriented... which aren't for me. Everything else, is superb as usual.
