"Minneriket creates a very diverse style of black metal with his music taking the raw, melodic, depressive and atmospheric sides of the genre and mixing them in with epic structures and a great amount of ambient elements, the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Norwegian [...] 8/10." -Review by occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com

"An album where nothing is as it seems, since without notice serenity is overwhelmed by violent and incendiary riffs for an album that could be defined as icy from start to finish. (8,1)." -Review by blackmetalspirit.blogspot.com

"Imagine a combination of raw, violent, nihilistic in pronunciation, classic Scandinavian black metal, ambient climatic spots and cool, with a light trance, industrial-style accents [...] Minneriket so skillfully constructed compositions that not for a moment did I feel triumph of form over content, or superfluity of certain measures. 4/6." -Review by violence-online.pl

"Minneriket knows his subject. Tracks are deliberately violent and incisive, and never moves away from this heavy atmosphere introduced in the first track. 15/20." -Review by frenchmetal.com credits released June 21, 2015

All music and lyrics by Stein Akslen. Except select parts translated from the Poetic Edda.

"Based on the classic Norwegian Black Metal. Somewhere between Burzum, Immortal and Darkthrone MINNERIKET combines epic guitar and synth moments with cold, raging passages" - Legacy Magazine

"The atmosphere herein created is indescribably profound and dark.This is probably one of the most dark albums I have heard in a long time, for the sake of the desolation that it creates in my mind. Not a living thing in sight, just the darkness, as I walk through corridors of bleakness watching my back at every turn.The epitome of Ambient/Black Metal" - Absit-Omen Webzine

"Minneriket creates another recording that remains true to the raw and atmospheric style of ambient black metal from their previous release [...] In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Minneriket and if you are a fan of ambient black metal, you should check out this album." 8/10 - OccultBlackMetalZine

"Che volere di più nel 2016? Nostalgico." 8/10. - Metalhead.it credits released October 31, 2016

All music and lyrics written, composed and recorded by Stein Akslen. Old norse lyrics on track 2 originally from Vǫluspá. Additional session bass and guitar by Rex. Front cover artwork by Khaos Diktator Design. "Stjerner, speil og svartebøker..." was recorded MMXIV-MMXVI.

"It is, without a shadow of a doubt, utterly fantastic." -The Moshville Times

"A scorching extravaganza of Norwegian Black Metal that will consume your soul, thoroughly put together by a one-man army of darkness." -TheHeadbangingMoose

"This is one of Minneriket's most aggressive albums with a very dense and depressing atmosphere." -Terra Relicta

"A soundtrack that really speaks of darkness, shouting with anger and inhuman hatred." -Metalhead.it

"Quite raw and impetuous, the Norwegian gets down to business here and creates an oppressive eerily dark atmosphere." -Legazcy Magazine

"For fans of Gorgoroth, Mayhem and Burzum." -Metal Na Lata

"As a travesty, a distorted reflection of contrived and feigned idyll, Minneriket holds up Anima Sola in front of you, as an unadulterated mirror for your soul. A mirror that portray your inner pain, your bereavement, your sorrow and despair, without any filter." -Gorger.org

"It's definitely impressive and worth including on my list of potential best of 2018 releases. Perfection comes early." -ScumFeastMetal666

"But above all, it is the atmosphere that vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Stein Akslen offers us here that inspires me so much. Unbridled hatred, deviant rage, and self-effacing misanthropy flow from the listener's heart and take control of him, at least for the duration of the record!" -Metal Division Magazine

"In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Minneriket and if you are a fan of ambient black metal, you should check out this album." -OccultBlackMetalZine

"Without a lot of pompous "ornaments," the beginning of the new Norwegian record, with "Tro, håp og kjærlighet" reminds of the glittering moments of their great home school, creating an atmosphere like the one created with their keys by Dimmu Borgir, or Satyricon on "Shadowthrone"." -MetalView

"The opening song captured my attention immediately and was incredibly good, especially the vocals were very much to my liking and reminded me of Abbath at the time of ‘Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism’ (this is a compliment as that album is in my top 5 of best black metal albums ever)." - The Independent Voice

"In conclusion, MINNERIKET is RECOMMENDED for every TRADITIONAL BLACK METAL, ROMANTIC BLACK METAL MUSIC fan and of course, especially for those who are looking for fresh music and new inspirations." - HeavyMetalTshirts credits released January 2, 2018
