Owen W Relaxing and entrancing. Good music for setting a mood. A darker, often more ambient take on their established sound. The two bonus tracks are a very nice addition. Favorite track: Claw and Fang.

Joe More brooding and enigmatic than their debut effort Woodsmoke, but great as a stand-alone piece of Dark Ambient. Favorite track: Kontio.

Colin M. The atmosphere created is just incredible. Imagine wandering barefoot through an ancient, enchanted forest, the way illuminated only by the shafts of moonlight, the hairs on the back of your neck raised with the unshakable feeling that some old spirit is watching you. That is what listening to this album is like. Favorite track: Hunt.

Moonbow 10:39
"Awaken. It's time we continue." "Herää. On aika jatkaa." We have come prepared, even for a longer journey, but we travel not across land alone. This trail bears the signs of many a traveler's passing. Be wary lest you too leave a mark.
2.
In death comes survival. In survival comes death. "Are you too intent on dealing death to evade it?!" "Regardless of the actions of some of our brethren, these are not weapons, but tools, and for a purpose. Yes, they are meant to kill. That much is obvious, for they are our survival."
3.
Kontio 04:45
"Se, Itse, Hän. Metän elukka." "Jumalan mies, Suuriherra, Mesikkinen, Metsänvaari. "Kouki, Kouvo, ja Tätinipoika" "Mörkö, Mönninkäinen, ja Kurko" "Otso, Kontio, Mesikämmen." "Karhu." "Älä sano! Älä kutsu metsän herran raivoa yllesi turhan päiten."
4.
Hunt 15:04
"Join us. Join us for the hunt. Come scattered brethren. It is time. The children are starving. We haven't eaten for days. Join us for the hunt." "Scent and trail have taken us here; to where our prey passes through this time each year. They favour this place for it gives them food and shelter. And so our lives too grow more secure, if only for a moment." "We are prepared." "Let us meet and see whom returns victorious - if at all." "This is a life-long struggle for survival. There's nothing glorious about it. Nor is there hate, nor honour. Such things have little meaning when the choice is between feeding and death. And you know that is no choice at all."
5.
The Mire 07:11
This is a fool's errand. (He insisted I write this down)
6.
"Finally, some luck." "Greetings, lion of the sea" "Greetings, river wolf. You and your companions can rest undisturbed. No harm will find you here." "Come. Eat and drink your fill. We have plenty to spare. No-one shall be denied food, drink or shelter here while I'm still breathing." "Tulkaa. Syökää ja juokaa kylliksenne. Meillä riittää jaettavaksi. Keneltäkään ei kielletä ruokaa, juomaa tai suojaa täällä niin kauan kuin minussa henki vielä kulkee."
7.
"To tread the cold path across wintry waters and to breathe the cool air" "Where once great woods rose, now an ice-lake lies Under silvery cloak the fields it hides, and stays rivers with a forceful hand" "For long have I wanted to see my homeland again, even the fierce winters that I did not entirely enjoy in my youth, but I did not wish this. Not this. ...I should have never come back here." "Still, should this be the last thing I ever did before relinquishing life, I am content."

Nest Finland

Nest strives to capture the atmosphere of hidden pools amidst the woods, faint calls of owls echoing through the woods, sparkling waterfalls and vast snow covered landscapes - the solemnity, tranquility and brutality of nature.
