Simply put this one of my favorite releases of all time. Welcome, My Last Chapter is filled with a unique, genuine and transcendent energy from start to finish. Feelings of aggression, beauty, nostalgia, awe, and melancholy all invoked invariably through themes of sorrow and sadness. This is emotional, atmospheric black metal at it's best. If I had to make a comparison musically, I will echo what others have said in saying that they're similar to fellow Swedes Dissection, except more melodic. An album that inspires truly grandiose visuals and emotions. Unfortunately this was the one and only full length Vinterland has released, and although they have announced a reunion no new material has yet been produced.

I cannot recommend Welcome, My Last Chapter enough! A true classic if there ever was one!

For Fans of: Dissection, early Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, ect.
