Los suecos mantiene un ritmo imparable, en cuanto a lanzamientos, desde su formación en 2016, editando ahora un Ep de cuatro temas que da continuidad al álbum del año pasado, siendo eso si, sólo un tema nuevo de los cuatro incluidos en este EP. "Born of the Flickering" nos ofrece un sonido que muestra una banda en plenas facultades, cómoda en el desarrollo de un sonido que se mueve con soltura en terrenos del black melódico con algunas influencias death, mostrándose tanto frío y oscuro en lineas generales, como capaz también de ofrecer algunos ramalazos de rabia, sin descuidar en ningún momento ese tono melódico del que saben hacer gala, muchas veces cercano al death y otras al black sinfónico. Los otros tres temas que contiene este Ep son revisiones de temas que aparecieron en su anterior álbum "Hädanfärd", esta vez en inglés y en donde la banda tal vez explora terrenos menos cómodos para ellos como pueden ser un mayor acercamiento tanto a sonidos death melódicos como a black sinfónico o incluso echando mano de secciones más cercanas al thrash, trayendo a la memoria el legado de bandas como Dissection, Dimmu Borgir o la escena el sonido death de Gotemburgo, en unas revisiones en donde no pierden un apice de credibilidad a la hora de ofrecer un sonido directo y compacto, con mucho peso de las melodías, pero que se muestra también afín y próximo a terrenos que estando presentes en lo temas originales no estaban tan explotados como en estas revisiones, que de alguna manera nos dejan con ganas de lo que deparará el futuro para los suecos.

1. Born of the Flickering 04:50
Enthralled into the dustwind
Crusaders of a lost battle
Warned by a thorn of war
Jeweled in their own blood
Yarns of fugitive elements
In distance to the thorncastle
Empire bricks thrown to the soil
Sharp and poisonous thorns
Pure it is, like defenseless spring births
Unpleased by a sudden nightfall
Turned its back on love and life
And made it all unpure
Lovesongs of the dove, seen through
Time of what he song
A messenger of the nourishing light
Were attacked of enemy ravens
So therefore, it song no more
Pearlgate servants, in the end you gather
In the clouds beyond clouds
Foundation walls of the raising temple
Prisoners of a time that was
Promised sentences long before years
Came to join the hearse that rode
And will always ride
In the hearts of them, historical plague
2. Rex Tenebrae (English version) 05:55
Come into my kingdom
And fade in my vast eternal void
There is no light to be seen at the end
Only the cold dark
There is no divinity or paradise
Just oblivion
I'll bring death & despair
And vanquish all life
I'm the throat of the abyss
The devouring dark
I've come to deprive you from all sence of light
I am he, bearer of sin, Rex tenebrae
Immortal, infinity I am beyond eternity
Fathomless, nothingness I am a monument to all your sins
Come dwell with me in the eternal gloom
Inhale the essence of my being
Behold the light fading from your pale eyes
Come into my everlasting realm
Divide & rule over life & death
I am a gift & a curse
From ashes to dust to nothingness
All you are comes to an end
3. Shackled (Fjättrad English Version) 05:48
Imprisoned in flesh & blood
Tied to the sands of time
Tormented by the gift of life
I redeem you from its bond
I am your beginning, I am your end
I have allways been & always I will be
I give you peace, I give you eternal grief
I am the one who shackles in life's misery
Born in screams & agony
In solitude you shall perish
In anguish you endlessly strive
In emptieness you wither
When the sand has poured out
I'll lead you home
Everything you were fades away into oblivion
An empty shell is everything you've ever been
Life is but a bygone era
So let the sand run out
Shackled in the withering roots of life
I see slowly break apart
Step by step, day by day you wither away
Let the sand of time rain like venom over you
Imprisoned in flesh & blood
Tied to the sands of time
Tormented by the gift of life
I redeem you from its bond
I am your wish, I am your perdition
I have allways been & always I will be
I am the gaze of the executor, I am angelic
I deprive you of your life
When the sand has poured out
I'll lead you home
Everything you were fades away into oblivion
An empty shell is everything you've ever been
Life is but a bygone era
So let the sand run out
4. A Fate Sealed in the Grave (Ett gravfäst öde English version) 04:28
A sinister call
From ancient soil
Its bewitching voice
Entraps me in its violence
Decays with every breath
With heavy steps I walk towards the end of life
An endless journey
On a solitary path
Let me quietly rot
In the tellus abyss-like throat
Shackled in the chains of eternity
Longing for time to consume me
Everything dies, everything fades
A fate sealed in the grave awaits all but me
A fate sealed in the grave awaits all but me
All life cease for each step I take
Frost covered ground is all I leave
A constant endeavor
Through time & space
An eternal distaste for all life
With a longing for an end
Lifeliness characterizes my dreams
To find peace in eternal sleep
One last step
Over the mountain's edge
Let me be swept in barren moist soil
Let me be one with nothingness
Never will my heart stop beating
Never shall I fade away
Everything dies, everything fades
A fate sealed in the grave awaits all but me
