The album begins with "Invocação Ao Arcanjo Miguel", a short, yet intense ritualistic introduction. This invocation catches the listeners' attention almost immediately, only to give way to the next song, which offers great female vocals in addition to the otherwise dominant male singing. "Cavalos Correm Nas Minhas Veias" is much faster and begins with a militant melody that develops into a much more complicated music, adding more painful elements to the song as well as more percussion and musical instruments. Other songs will show different faces of this project, like the ballad "Por Tua Saudade" or the almost new age sound of "Para Lá Das Sombras".

Another fine release for Ahnstern, The Joy of Nature offers a very rewarding album that offers both interesting music and stirring atmospheric sounds. Fans of Neo Folk and spiritual music should not miss this one!
