Background

edit

Terminal is an album with less symphonic black metal elements than its distant predecessor Nightmare Diaries (2010), switching to a greater mix of gothic metal and doom metal, utilizing the usual mixture of light female vocals and harsh male vocals.

It's the first album with Mexican singer Isadora Cortina (guest musician in Trapped Within the Words), who joined the band after the longtime vocalist Elin Anita Omholt had an injury in a car accident in 2008.[2]
