7.5 		Like Donny, I find myself out of my element in reviewing Amiensus' Restoration.

Ok, so unlike Theodore Donald Karabotsos I do have a frame of reference, although Meloblack has never really been my thing. Like my coffee, I prefer my black metal straight, harsh and not loaded with sugary additives. It just doesn't move me with all the rough edges removed. And thus the biggest problem with the album actually lies with the reviewer.

Staff pick by

06.02.2013 Found this little gem while using the Bandcamp Discovery feature. Very solid and beautifully crafted American progressive melodic black metal with bits of post-metal strewn about as well.

Here is what the band has to say about the album:
"The result was something that had some rhythmical qualities and aesthetics coming from the black metal genre, but paired up with some contrasting melodic influences from genres such as progressive metal, post-rock, doom metal and even a bit of folk. We don't really know what to call it, we just try to call it metal."

I'd say that sums it up quite well.

  What a stupid release date.
BreadGod - 06.02.2013 at 18:59  
  This is some sweet shit, I tell you what.

Rating: 9 Incredible! I thought this year couldn't get any better, but I haven't been this impressed after a single listen in a really long time. Only listened to the first track but I'm convinced I'll love this

  I discovered this though using the Bandcamp Discovery feature too. Quite a handy little tool that, although i'm not big on Djent or '-core' genres, which seems to be the main stuff that pops up for me using that feature atm.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
EVERY YEAR

how are these guys so unknown?
-DC-002- - 07.02.2013 at 09:35  
  This is perdy cool. It's interesting and kind of weird I feel like these guys were inspired by, Fen, or Woods of Ypres. along those lines maybe?

Rating: 8 Actually changed my mind with this. Went back to it, and diodn't find it all that bad.

^I can also hear the WoY influence.

Rating: 8 Checked this out. It's alright. Nicely blends a few genres together. Needs a few more spins.
Insomniac! - 11.02.2013 at 15:58  
  Listening to it right now, it is interesting. It's something I'll listen more to

What a stupid release date.

Couldn't agree more. When I found it I was really hoping it was 2013 so I could promote it for the 2013 MSAs...
psykometal - 12.02.2013 at 08:09  
  I'm glad that people are digging this so much, I was mildly worried people would see Ken Sorceron's name attached to it and disregard it out of bullheaded disdain for Abigail Williams.
adace1 - 13.02.2013 at 08:30  
  Amazing album.
Death_95 - 04.03.2013 at 21:54  
  Why is the artwork very similar to Marrow Of The Spirit? I thought this was Mark Thompson too...
Windir - 19.05.2013 at 00:44  
  Logo looks like that of Arcturus.
