I'm a big fan of Akerfeldt's wintery and somber soliloquies of solitude. The chilling instrumentation compliments his soulful vocal style in a way that just sort of takes my breath away. Not much out there has ever had the hold on me that their music does. I love when they take little moments like this to break away and gaze straight into the darkness beyond one's eyelids. It's extremely dark and heavy stuff, but somehow very soothing in a haunting sort of way. I'm finding it tough to describe the kind of place this music puts me in, but I can say for sure that I like it a lot.
