User Album Review
Arktis. is filled with interesting songs which oscillate between morose and jagged, but there’s always something interesting going on. True to form, Arktis. is an album that seems to have been constructed as a whole. The record flows well, and its 48 minute run-time is perfect, ending with one of the album’s best tracks in “Celestial Violence,” a song which drops the curtain with a solemn and dramatic flare.2 This latest incarnation of Ihsahn‘s sound draws on a lot of different influences and melds them together into something dynamic and engaging. All of these different impressions feel artistically appropriate for an album named after the far north; lands which are quite extreme and varied. While some might long for something more hooky and metal, Arktis. is a record that I’ll be coming back to for its progressive vision. --- angrymetalguy.com
