Absolutely great and fabulous album. Desperate, cold, hateful, grim, a bunch of awesome riffs, awesome atmopshere and artwork. Melancholic, insane, great lyrics, no real reproaches, this is greek Black Metal at it's finest! darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM)
I liked the prior release a whole lot but "Tome II" is miles beyond that record in all respects: songwriting, technical playing and, most importantly, the production which adds another layer of power to these songs. Honestly just check the song "Both of Me" which is one of those album openers that demonstrates not only how far Grave Circles have come as a band but also sets the stage for the passionate self-destruction that follows. Holy hell is this good. bcb723
