Reception
[edit]The album received a review of 9/10 from Rockhard.de.[2] In the Swedish mainstream press, the album got short reviews in Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Aftonbladet and Helsingborgs Dagblad. Critics thought the album lacked innovation, but Aftonbladet noted that "If every song were as good as 'To Isengard', I could not shut off the record".[3][4][5][6] Expressen compared Morgana Lefay to "a bleak Pantera".[7]
