You know, I think the band just isn't my thing. I like this more than the first album, but it's almost 80 freaking minutes long and no one song really makes an impact. It feels like a full album experience, but everything just kind of drags. It's not bad but it's just uncompelling, that's my first impression. It's well put together... just nothing grips me and says, "Hey, motherfucker. This rocks." Good art though! I'm 5 songs from the end and just want it to stop now. 78 minutes is way too much.

EDIT: And right after I post that, possibly my favorite tune on the album plays: "Loss." I really like this one.

One of the finest metal albums I've heard all year. Melodeath, but it's dripping with melody and groove and rhythm, and no two songs are alike. The growls are aggressive but not too guttural, the words have enough clarity and enunciation to mostly understand what he's singing. There's an awesome harpsichord + dancey-synth breakdown in the song Sealing Our Fate. The Pt. 2 of the title track at the end of the record is this super triumphant, clouds-parting type of 10 minute epic. What a fucking cool album. Strongly recommended. Have not heard a single person talking about this band or record, so check it out on Spotify.

You basically describe the sound of a lot of Dark Tranquillity albums.... Check out their album Fiction

I have a backlog, so since you brought it up, I figured I'd knock this out tonight.

Holy hell, this is a fantastic album, and definitely purchase worthy.

Really fucking great!

Listening now. I like so far. So many different sounds it is interesting to hear what the next song brings.

i listened to some of this and mostly i just. don't see anything special about it. sounds very much like standard "power metal with growls" melodic death metal with a slightly proggy edge. nothing they're doing seems very exceptional. i didn't listen to the last three tracks fwiw 'cause i just got bored. comes off as just really average to me.

Sacul · « **Reply #5208 on:** April 17, 2020, 09:56:35 AM »

Went into this with zero expectations, but found it very enjoyable. Wtf I like doom metal now

NoseofNicko · « **Reply #5209 on:** April 17, 2020, 11:31:59 AM »

Excellent album. Never seen a new album have such a high rating on RYM before.

Sacul · « **Reply #5210 on:** April 17, 2020, 11:42:36 AM »

I recall something similar happened back when To Pimp A Butterfly dropped, and it's still holding up. Curious about this one, listened to a few tracks and sounds really promising but also a tough listen.

Nachtmerrie · « **Reply #5211 on:** April 17, 2020, 12:37:56 PM »

Hyborian - Volume II : really like this one, fans of Mastodon and Baroness should give it a try

Dool - Summerland: a Dutch band I really like. Female fronted dark, psychedelic rock. One of my favorite 2020 releases so far.
Could be yearlist material

NoseofNicko · « **Reply #5212 on:** April 17, 2020, 01:00:32 PM »

About to bump this up to a 5/5. Her best imo.

According to some comments I read it seems like this is the first 10/10 on Pitchfork in the last 10 years.. what that means, I don't really know or care.. but for that scene apparently it's very high regarded. Was gonna see what the hype is about soon, but for now:

Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin Kynsi

This is outrageously good. On my second listen, quite easily their best one!

mostly i liked i but i think the last track sucked
