I’m happy to forget Undying Light if you are, Fallujah, and from listening to Empyrean, I get the impression that you're on board with this approach.

Probably the highest on my anticipation list for 2022.

First listen didn't inspire a lot of confidence. To be honest this album felt like 1 long song. I'll try it again.

The last album was bloody awful. I'm glad they've ditched that vocalist and moved away from the deathcore sound at least.

It has some impressive lead guitarwork, and decent drumming, with a consistently good rhythm throughout. The riffs are a little chuggish at times and I often find the melodies a wee bit dull, and songwriting is fairly generic, but overall it's quite a solid release.

Still need to give it a few more listens to see how it stands up next to The Flesh Prevails/Dreamless, but what a relief that they've realized that Undying Light was a bit crap and have gone back to what made them unique

This does the thing, glad to see them back. Slightly inferior to TFP/Dreamless but there's some excellent tracks on here. Also, I saw them live for the first time a few nights ago, they were excellent

This album is turning out to have a lot of staying power for me; I'm at the point where if I'm scrolling through my phone music library without anything specific in mind and spot Fallujah's name, I normally stick this on. Radiant Ascension, Into The Eventide, and especially Celestial Resonance and Artifacts are top tracks, but I really dig the whole album.
