From the Midst of the Battle is the third full-length album by the Finnish death metal band Deuteronomium, released on August 13, 2008, by Bullroser Records.
The album features such special guests as Christian Palin (Random Eyes), Oula Siipola (Lumina Polaris), Kristiina Holländer, Mikko Härkin (ex-Sonata Arctica, Mehida) and Claudio Enzler (Sacrificium).
[4] Following the release, the band was featured in the Finnish heavy metal music magazine Inferno's issue #59, and the album scored 4.5 points out of 5 in the review, achieving commendations for the "killer riffs" and J.J. Kontoniemi's drum playing.
[5] The reviewer gave the album 8.5 points out of 10 and wrote: Sometimes the band's sense of melody is close to excellence, experience is apparent and feels while listening to the record.
The 17 minute album closer, "Tales from the Midst of the Battle," with its epic take and twists keeps the listener occupied, and ending the song feels like a crime.
