This album marks the addition of a second guitarist, Chris Burton. This album was based on the novel written by Andrew Tompkins.
The songs are twice as melodic as their first album, and the last song on this album is virtually perfect. The vocals have an equal balance of death growls, and monks singing. Having the most secondary instruments gives this album a strong medieval effect.
The album is a concept album. Based on the fictional story of Within the Ancient Forest written by Andrew Tompkins, the story revolves around the main character Dé-nyl (Denial) and his quest for the sword of legend, the Garensword which holds the power to restore life to the dead. The Firetree burns bright in the distance, but there are many perils for Dé-nyl to overcome before reaching the final object of his quest: the meaning of life and the final secret of immortality
