I dare any band to come out with a better symphonic deathcore album this year. This is the best of the subgenre since Shadow Of Intent's Elegy.

Another band that takes the best of the genre and eschews the worst (trite breakdown after trite breakdown). A little long and occasionally repetitive, but I’m a sucker for this style.

You can definitely tell a hell of a lot has gone into crafting this miraculous beast of symphonic deathcore. However, I've been struggling to get into this as a whole, it has it's moments sure, but it too often becomes repetitive and the breakdowns start to become tiresome. I'd say the symphonic arrangements outshine the deathcore instrumentation on this one.

It was a great Friday in general for symphonic deathcore, as Assemble The Chariots - Unyielding Night is a very solid debut in the subgenre that you might enjoy. This album's slightly lighter on the symphonics and a bit more deathcore-rooted than that one, but then this is also quite proggy with the writing, and makes good use out of the clean vocals (male and female). On first listen, it falls a bit short of the memorability of Shadow Of Intent, but it's one of the best albums I've heard in the niche in the past few years outside of SoI

I liked the assemble the chariots album, although I found the spoken word parts throughout kind of a turn off.

the breakdowns start to become tiresome

The breakdowns here are written in quite a substantial way, retaining the groove and melody, unlike most deathcore breakdowns. I'm quite surprised they grated on you. A good example of trite breakdowns ad nauseam would be Lorna Shore's last release.
