"Sie sind hier." They are here. With these words, Sulphur Aeon return after five years, once more heralding Lovecraftian horrors with entertaining and highly melodic death metal.

It sounds like the new Tomb Mold but less interesting.

Haha! What!? It sounds nothing like Tomb Mold

I'm still appraising it fully, but I love it so far.

I swear that it reminded me of The Enduring Spirit! Sounds like I should give them both another spin though Will be enjoyable!

Sounds like somebody needs more toes dipped into death metal
I cannot speak as to the quality of both records as I have only heard them once each.

No arguments from me on that!

They're becoming increasingly dreamy and melodic with every new album, which suits their Lovecraftian aesthetics so well. I'm spotting a lot of post-black elements with occasional eruptions of brutality here and there.
After a few listens I'm totally hooked

Listened twice today. Top quality death metal, melodic, sombre, progressive, blackened, full of guitar and vocal hooks, and engaging throughout. Great musicianship, great songwriting. Amazing cover art by the usual suspect, Paolo Girardi. Only one flaw: it sounds compressed. Still, it is the best death metal album I've listened to so far this year.

Now this is a death metal release. I always knew these guys existed, and listen to "Swallowed By The Oceans Tide" once, way back. They didn't really hit back then because I was more into the more melodic subgenres of metal back then, but holy fucking shit. This is by far my favorite death metal release of this year, absolutely bloody amazing.

I agree with you. After a few listens to this new album, it got me. Great music and production, one of the top albums this year for me.

This was great on first listen but it only gets better the more you listen, and it's fast becoming one of my favorite releases of the year. It has such a terrific sound and atmosphere and the guitar work is fantastic.

I think it's good but I haven't connected with it as much as Cosmic Chaos.

Maybe it's just a case of first album I heard syndrome.

I'm going to be spinning Cosmic Chaos soon. This album has made me want to go through the rest of their discography.

This one of the best álbuns of the year !!! My favourite still Fires in the distance but this guy's make a really powerful job down here. The german bands in this last year's have surprised me in this type of sound where they don't have the crown. But like last year Dark Millennium with acid river and discover Dark fortress, makes them a real threat to this throne...
By the way this band sounds like several bands like in moments bloodbath , but mostly like 1914...among other great bands

Very good album. More of melodies and BM vibes with bit of doom here and there. Overall fantastic effort by the band.

Not getting tired of this record, on the contrary. The record is quite dense, yet very consistent with itself and the theme.

Finally get to around new Sulphur, and I can assure you that this wasn't nowhere to be found with the first two glorious and impeccable records. It got more blackened and occult having heavy sonic pal with crushing riffs and all, but the benchmark is set very high.

I can more closely associate with Swallowed By The Ocean's Tide as I was too new to the genre, and when first chords hit me...it really made me fan of Sulphur.

Still, it gonna rack many votes in MSA.
