45. Der Weg Einer Freiheit - "Innern"

We are back to the auteurs playing with form and function. This is a tempestuous maelstrom of emotionally charged black prog. It tempers harsh aggression with melodic, vulnerable passages that are full of fragile introspection. The pivet between styles is done really well, avoiding any sense of jarring and instead creating a natural meld between the two states of being. For all its opulent anger, it is a mature and sophisticated album that can understands how to overwhelm and sooth in equal measure.
