Thanks for letting us know since it is not released on Spotify yet. Listened the first 2 tracks, but I can say that it is already better than the previous album.

How are these guys not yet signed? The production may be a bit rough in places (imo), but this album is awesome.. or at the very least very interesting. I'd own this on vinyl if such a thing existed.

This is really awesome. Not exactly something new, but it's very catchy

...not released on Spotify yet.

It's been added now

What Nik said in his staff pick for the debut applies here as well! Fun stuff!

Quote:
a stellar blend of technical thrash metal with progressive and melodic death/black metal, and it is one of these rare cases that the record gets better and better with every listen. Imagine Voivod, Coroner, Death and Dissection jamming together and churning out invigorating and acrobatic riffs, as well as eclectic and emotional melodies, with a strong progressive undertow.

Also, the first song sounds totally like "Solitude" from Black Sabbath's Master Of Reality

Good catch

I like to call this sound cavern metal, or reverbcore.

I listened a bit on bandcamp, i might listen to the whole thing.

I wanted to mention that, obviously someone would have noticed.

I make no secret extreme metal is a hit and miss with me but I enjoyed this album a lot. Quite the pleasant surprise.

Raise The Dead is clearly a Bathory cover, alongside Valhöll being an obvious take on Ring Of Gold.

With Auotnoesis, it was a frail start (with debut) to my expectation and it lost somehow in my radar.

Got in with this and it rips fucking completely.

Love the performances in this album along with the nice mixture of black death and thrash.

I wonder how I missed this one last year Anyway, I was expecting to be blown away this, with blackened thrash being one of my favorite genres, and considering how highly praised it is, I wasn't exactly blown away, it's only the first track that really stands out for me. I don't think the length of the album helps.

It has a great menacing raw sound, some great lead guitar work, and some quality riffing now and again, but I find the structure a wee too technical for my liking and the melodic parts don't really stick around for too long. The softer sections are quite a nice feature though.
