Speaking of last-minute surprises, Lovecraftian death metallers Sulphur Aeon decided to give us their offering ten days before the year ended, giving us just enough time to reconsider our end-of-year lists.

China was a neat
Sounds like the death metal version of the The Great Old Ones. Great stuff.

Must say pretty generic boring death metal and not much to offer besides all that was offered before, I can't see how people drooling all over for this!

I disagree quite strongly but each to their own.

It oozes atmosphere which is arguably the most important aspect of DM/BDM. This, Slugdge and 1914 were the top 3 albums of 2018 for me.

generic? Interesting perspective. Not sure I could disagree more. Probably my 2018 AotY along with Nihil

After two years, this album has become my favourite death metal album, by far. And it's going to be very hard to challenge it. Having read Lovecraft, and listened to many bands who name him as an influence, I can say that this album is the one that transported me into one of HP's terrifying novels the most. Even Septicflesh that do an amazing job at that are surpassed here imho.

One of the best albums I have ever heard.

I agree, it's awesome. I go back to this album for a listen every month or so and it still sounds incredible.

I'm going to give in another spin right now...

I have also frequently listened to this album. It is addictive.

Didnt dig the entire album but The Summoning Of Nyarlathotep is one of my favorite songs in the last months. Excellent musicianship and solos!

It doesn't quite capture me in the same way as Seven Crowns And Seven Seals does (as of yet) but It's definitely a great album, with a really captivating atmosphere and it has some exceptional leads. "Sinister Sea Sabbath" and "Thou Shalt Not Speak His Name" stand out for me the most here.
