I have to say that this is probably my favorite BDM album. I was never a big fan before this record, but after giving it many listens I'm thoroughly impressed. The band made true all the promises of this one. Catchy riffs, great production, relentless fury, and plenty of banging tracks. I especially love "The Advent" and "Vlad, Son of the Dragon."

This album doesn't let up. I'd say it's their strongest to date. Awesome stuff.

I have to agree with you there. On another note, it is certainly one of my favourites from 2015.

Probably the most inspired the band has ever sounded. It's on the same level as Nocturnal and Ritual IMO.

People who don't like TBDM probably won't change their mind though, the vocals are a bit different and the album is heavier than their previous ones, but it's more of the same band.

Overwatcher, MS Xena, crumbled him in no time. MS needs you to kill the boredom in here.

If there's a band that took time to convince me is TBDM. Honestly i don't like their first albums, sounded like taking the ongoing sucessful train of deathcore. But progressively their outputs became more and more interesting, varied and convincing. Everblack was a monster and this new album is very close in terms of quality. The performances are very intense (hear the song Asylum), catchy af (Abysmal and The Fog) and dynamic (The Advent). I hope these guys come to Portugal soon, i look forward to see them live.

Nice and relentless. Just the way I like my TBDM. A good continuation of the last album.

Probably the most consistently solid thing I've heard TBDM come out with. Although just sticking it on in the background it does all rather blend together. Still, a suitably kinetic listen

I have to say that I prefer the predecessors Deflorate, Ritual and Everblack (all of them rated 8/10) but nevertheless, "Threat Level No. 3" from this release is still one of my most favorite TBDM-songs. And I really love the sick and funny video that has been made, too.

"Vlad, Son of The Dragon, "Threat Level No. 3" and "Asylum" are such incredible tracks. The rest range from good to great, on par with Nightbringers for me, maybe slightly better.
