I was a big fan of Ablaze My Sorrow in the late '90s and early new millennium time frame but then my tastes changed and I lost track of their later releases until I heard this new disc earlier this year and I have to admit that I like it a lot more than I had expected to. Not an album that I will play frequently but when the old-school Swedish mood grabs me, then these tracks hit the spot.

This is one of those discs that fell into that December black hole that I mention in my comments from time to time, as I totally overlooked this release at the end of last year. I know it's only an EP, but these tracks show a ton of potential.
