Jon Schaffer was spreading conspiracy bs, including dangerous medical misinformation before the January 6 Capitol Attack. He was never cool in my eyes after that.
I don't think people forget what he was in for. Just that, as Nejde said, he paid his dues and now he is just ridiculous. Luckily he doesn't have any kind of platform these days.
My only complaint about this album is a track called "The Death Minstrel" with its spoken vocals (slightly John Haughm's sounding) stands out pretty much. The rest is as good as before.
It has everything you'd expect from a Procession record, magnificent vocals awesome riffs and lots of emotions. I'm really happy and satisfied with the album.
EDIT : and an amazing cover artwork !

Finally gave it a few proper play-throughs (4 times and going through once more right now). A step down from the debut for me, just doesn't feel quite as powerful. Still a solid album with plenty of sexy riffs.
While this is a great album, Destroyers Of The Faith totally destroys this on the riff and production department. Gosh I was crushed by the debut's production (those drums omg), something that didn't happen here.
