Contents

It was the last album with Ragnar Westin playing the drums, as he left after its recording. [1]

Reception

Reviews in the mainstream press included several dice throws of 5 (out of 6). These included Nordlands Framtid and a newspaper from the band's hometown, Fredriksstad Blad . [2] [3] Bergensavisen was also moderately positive, issuing a dice throw of 4. [4]

There were more mediocre reviews, with mainstream music critics scoring the album 3 out of 6. Some called for more melodies in Equinox' music, and complained that the music was "choppy". [5] [6] [7] Oppland Arbeiderblad were negative: "thunderous, anti-melodic heavy rock, interspersed with some sci-fi sounds and the odd break with an acoustic guitar". [8]
