Out of all the Rogga bands/projects I've heard, this is my favorite and I think it stands out the most. Whereas Rogga's other projects go for full-on Swedeath, Entrance to the Otherwhere is much more melodic and triumphant. FFO old Amorphis and In Flames. xCHICKEN SANDWICHx

Very fun old school death metal album with quite memorable songs. It's well produced, has piercing HM-2 riffs and some great leads. Stunning cover art as well.
While not reinventing the wheel, the art of still doing great old school death in 2020 shouldn't be underestimated.
