Hele andere plaat als zijn voorgangers, maar wel weer meteen raak. De zang heeft iets minder impact dan op SAtH, waar er vaak lange instrumental stukken zaten en het gebrul er dan vanuit het niets ineens inkwam.
Het is wel heel afwisselend en rijk qua geluid. Interessant ook waar ze de inspiratie voor dit album vandaan haalden:
When Sweden's Cult of Luna moved into a new rehearsal space on the site of a converted mental institution, they stumbled upon an unexpected source of inspiration for their fifth album, Eternal Kingdom. There, amongst the long-abandoned madhouse's detritus, lay a diary kept by a former inmate who had rationalized drowning his wife by concocting an entire imaginary world and cast of characters responsible for the heinous crime -- anyone but him, in other words. The title of this diary was -- you guessed it -- "Tales of the Eternal Kingdom," and its contents provided the perfect jumping-off-point for Cult of Luna to wrap their always inventive post-metal songwriting around a gothic fairy tale right out of the Brothers Grimm. bron:Allmusic
