Where the rythm is melodic, it is also slowed down and paused at certain parts, which is marked by a drumroll or an opening sequence to a subtle session of organ, piano or keyboard playing. These harmonies that try to reborn the era of romantic emotion, morbid art and lively love to the dead - as well as the undead - are surprisingly inviting as key leaders of each song found on this album.

The sense of nobility and unquestioned "righteousness" is affirmed by the singer's way of communicating with the listener - the voice is not through uncontrolled screams trying to make itself heard through a firestorm of cascading riffs and blastbeats, but instead it appears tidily between the gaps of the decentralized parts of each song.

This technique, in more than one sense, works together with the concept of gothic poetry and a will to experience the world through a paradox; emotion and feeling are greatly emphasized, yet these ways of transcending morality are constrained and in many ways reserved, as seen in the behaviour of a creature above fools but below that which it through heart and soul worship.

Despite this fact, an undoubtly streamlined effect can be traced by the way riffs are used to achieve this melodic enchantment; while they often at middle or end reach their final conclusion and melt with the harmonies of prolonged emotions, their beginning is that of an old man's burden; riffs begin the euphony and only later into the pieces let the keystrokes and symphonic themes take full possession of the music itself. The percussion follows the same architecture, and is evened out to achieve the same effect. But as this was the band's first and last attempt to create a full album, this minor mistake can easily be overseen, or more likely, described as a way to introduce each song and build up an emotive mood, that at the end transpire into an orchestra of praise to the values and feelings, that a thousand years ago were hunted away.

As such, "For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike" is a most worthy travel into the romantic, folkloric and night-obssessive mood, set by brilliant aesthetic and a will to always go beyond the present state of mind and living. It is here beauty is found, and it is also here that we may search for inspiration - not only to understand this album, despite the suffering of the seemingly mediocre production - but to realize its rarity and announce a somewhat clumsy but straight-forward message; for art we may forever yield.
