Comeback albums generally get a lot of attention because listeners are so starved for new material from a band, that the mere concept of a new album from said band can feel surreal. The real challenge is following up a comeback album to show that you're here to stay beyond the mere appeal of having returned. Phlebotomized are here to stay.

This is even better than Deformation Of Humanity, which was a great comeback album itself. And the cover art is infinitely better. I am very positively surprised, I expected something good, but not this good.

This has some wonderful moments. It has an excellent flow, some great songwriting and very impressive instrumentation. Exceeded my expectations I must say. Great album cover too.

Cool songwriting, maybe a tad long in the tooth. The vocals are also not my favorite.

Good melodious riffings filled with growls. Credit goes to the guitars. Good album.

The synths remind me of the fires in the distance atmosphere.

Destined to be killed is an awesome song. This is a good album, a tad too synth oriented for my tastes.

This might be my favourite death metal release of the year so far, at the least the most unexpected and surprising. I really love the atmosphere the synth creates, it sounds old school but clean, which is how I like my odsm, the songwriting has lots of interesting twists, and the singing is very powerful. Great album.
