2014? Some kind of joke?


Even if it's a joke, i won't be getting it.

According to Wiki, it's 2013. But, no such official information been declared on Facebook or website.

Rating: 9 After hearing/seeing the new video I've got higher hopes for this one now. Sounds less electronic and more symphonic/epic, a style which I'm more inclined towards.

I like the electronic stuff more but that song was the best thing I have ever heard by them

  It would be conceptual album, more than 74 min length. And it is sounds very promising.
Before they sound more electronic and sometimes too much electronic. I like how they did symphonic stuff.

I remember someone said:
"The music is very full and complex, so listening this kind of 'hard listening (not easy listening)' material straight for 80 minutes is a bit too much (even for me)"

Thank you Shade Empire that you do not thinking like that. 74 minutes of great 'hard listening' material. looking forward to it!

I didn't find Time to be complex and hard listening at all. If anything it was easy listening. This isn't hard listening for me either, but at least they didn't split their album in two

Rating: 10 This is a fantastic album, and easily my favorite so far this year!

Rating: 10 The new album is amazing! Monstrously epic! Definitely worth a listen whether you're a fan of the band or not.

Rating: 10 This album is just massive! I was never into this band (didn't liked that much anything of their previous releases), but this one is just groundbreaking! highly recommended!
Neroese - 06.05.2013 at 19:36  
Rating: 10 One word - EPICNESS! They haven't got many electronics (prawie że nic), but it sounds so monumental and great! Great, great, great!

Rating: 9 This sounds way more natural than previous efforts. Their last couple of albums have sounded quite industrial but this has gone back to more of a symphonic sound. There's still bits of that electronic/industrial sound to be heard but it's kept to a minimum and I'm glad about that. A really good record and worthy of the high rating so far.

  I really don't get the buzz behind that album .. it doesn't sound special in any kind of way to me
Ap46 - 07.05.2013 at 23:36  
Rating: 9 I'm really digging this album!. Very ominous and epic.
Divergenceless - 08.05.2013 at 06:32  
Rating: 8 It doesn't quite meet the insane hype that everybody placed on it, but it is an album that is consistently good, in my humble opinion. The longer tracks are of an excellent quality, however. Overall, it's a high 7-range album that gets rounded to an 8-- a lovely melodic album, and enjoyable work-out music for me because it isn't hard to listen to and extremely accessible.

  I fucking jizzed my pants, though I won't give this a score yet until I've taken a few more listens. An instant like doesn't mean it's right away good on the long term

Rating: 9 While this isn't exactly new or original by any stretch (the symphonic black metal thing), this is one hell of an album. To judge it based purely off originality, as some are doing, isn't really fair. "Omega Arcane" feels very natural, hardly anything on the album is really forced. They take plenty of time to build and release which is important in this atmosphere. There is a very ominous tone to the whole piece but it never really gets monotonous like some albums that don't change moods can. This is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the best symphonic black albums ever released. That being said, I'm not a huge black metal guy but that speaks to its accessibility. This is the album of the year so far in my book, and I really enjoyed a number of other albums this year. It's just too badass and memorable not to think otherwise, at least in my opinion.

  Solid, but overrated.

Rating: 10 This was new find for me. Really a stunning & epic album. Needs a few spins to really get into it.
SWAMPL0RD - 14.05.2013 at 05:30  
Rating: 10 This album just works. It feels, like many have said, organic... plenty of ebb and flow. Complex and deeply soothing symphonic death metal for the masses. And that's not a bad thing

Rating: 10 One simple word: EPIC !
