    To give you an idea of what kind of album this is, let me tell you that the ten tracks fill 58 minutes. Two tracks are instrumental. And the song with the shortest text (Storm: "the roaring floods shall come; before the never ending sea") is also the longest track with more than nine minutes. True Nature Unfolds is an album of sounds: Chaotic, stirring, dreamy, aggressive. To contribute to these sounds, several elements were added. You can hear additional slideguitar, saxophone, glockenspiel, cello and female vocals. This description only misses the vital element: Callisto plays metalcore with harsh, screaming vocals. The music never becomes fast. The production is real good as all the elements come through well. Sometimes there are wonderful moments, like in the songs Cold Stare and Masonic. Personally, I still prefer the Ordeal Of The Century EP as it was more song oriented. I wouldn't mind if they did some up tempo stuff either.
