The album starts out quite brutal sounding with the track ‘Blood Of Lies’ with great breaks and interesting sound. For a fan it is impossible to not recognize this instantly as Unleashed, when you are familiar with their previous material. Although there are a few new elements, it’s still old quality, the whole album sounds quite predictable, but then I can’t help liking it all too much. Especially the track ‘In Victory Or Defeat’ is very recommendable. In the track ‘We Must Join With Him’ ‘Him’ refers to Sauron, the lord of the dark.
 

Definitely my favorite track is the title track ‘Midvinterblot’ with the cool vocals and the addicting guitar riffs. There are several damn good tracks on this record, but nonetheless the album has some filling tracks, because 15 tracks which all sound the same after 8 tracks is definitely not original. The album is a great effort with excellent sound quality, interesting guitar solo’s and brutal grunting. Just the typical old school death metal that I so adore!
