Well, Purgatory Afterglow is second on my list of best EoS releases, first being Crimson of course. This is in all ways perfect album, anyway you look at it. The first track, "Twighlight" is possibly one of the best death metal songs ever written. "Blood Colored" could be considered as death rock and roll, and Swano started experimenting with clean vocals more on "Black Tears", not to mention it has one of the best/catchy riffs ever. "Elegy" has great lyrics, and "Of Darksome Origin" is just great, very evil. In short, this album is sweet, do yourself a favor, if you're into DM, heard previous Swano efforts, you can't miss with Purgatory Afterglow. It's one of the best Swedish Death Metal 'representatives'
