The album is set up like a play. It has 4 different acts which are all deeply embedded in the astrological and death origin in which the majority of the songs are derived from. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Act I: "There is No Time for Inaction"- is a 23 second instrumental that gives off the feeling you're floating in space and before you know it, "Under the Silent Moon" comes and the music makes you feel like you've lost all control and you're heading towards the sun to die a most painful and horrific death. "Dreamslave" is a somewhat placid song compared to the others. It won't knock you off your feet, but the melodies will stay in your brain and the vocals are infectious and make you want to sing along, even though you don't know the words. The music reminds me of some sort of battle scene-one of those dark, rainy night fights that can only be describe as undesirable. Concluding this act is "Masquerade", a catchy and muddy track that blinds you with it's feeling of betrayal and feeling of being crucified by your peers.

Act II: "In the World of Violence and Lies" is yet another atmospheric instrumental, this time feeling like you're walking alone in the dead woods. You know someone is following you-you can hear them and you walk faster in fear as the crows mock you. "Master of Everything" begins with some drums that reminds me of early Danzig (think "She Rides"). "Supremacy of the World" and "The Main Art of Mortal" are both songs of desire and having control over things we can never control. "Slave Forever" is pretty self explanatory, and finishes off this act extremely well. Almost too beautifully.

Act III: An elegant and enlightening welcoming is "Time of Eternal Dream" which is shortly followed by "Crash of Hope" which begins with some birds chirping and is a very touching song. It talks about all the dreams and wants you work so hard for which ends up taking all of your time and effort so when (and if) your dreams come true, you're too burnt out to even try to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Act IV: The conclusion of the journey is here. "Infinite Road to Hell" is a rather calming instrumental that makes you inquire what hell is really like. It's kind of like the music that you'd hear after a blood bath of a battle and to awaken to realize you're the only person left alive. Both "Dark Veil of Dreams" and "Where Once the Moon Rose" tell about the devastation that is really around everywhere we look.

This is one of the most beautiful death metal albums I've come to embrace. Go get this album and find out how Asguard could be the next big thing in the death metal world.
