That was mesmerizing.

I hereby declare Subrosa the best album of August even though the track you shared isn't even in the tracklist

From the article we can assume that its the last song or a part of it.

Othervise it sounds typical Subrosa, I had hopes and still has that they do something a bit different than their last two albums. Then again I am up for some more: I separated myself from the earth...

Decent enough.

They wrote some filler for the Decibel Flexi Series, but it turned out better than expected. So, they decided to add it to the proper album, as an outro. That's my conspiracy theory ;]

Wound Of The Warden actually topped my expectations by margins. Hyped Hoping for 5 more killer-tracks.

I think it more and more looks like a really reserved album that slowly after each listen will draw you in to its splendidness.

The reins has been loosened with absolutely stunning results. Next level Subrosa.

That's it.

I'm really amazed (shame on me for having doubts)

Heard it just once, but "Black Majesty" could be their most complex song to date. And "Il Cappio" is a very nice interlude, I must say. One could argue that it is not sufficiently heavy compared to their previous two offerings. But I surely don't. Will end up buying it.

How does it stand up in quality to the previous two? I will check it out anyway but I'm still curious.

At this point, this is my favourite release by them... and that's saying something!

Each album has been better than the previous, but this one is just another level, this is just complete, every single song is...
The more i listen to it the more i need to do it again and again.
I don't have any doubt at this point, BAOTY and a magnificent fucking masterpiece.

Guys, I'm DYING listening to this. I mean No Help For The Mighty Ones was absolutely incredible. Then More Constant That The Gods came along and was a complete masterpiece from start to finish. Somehow, we knew this would be even better and so far IT IS. I"m fangirling so hard right now I might break something.

That was quite my reaction too. This morning I listened to the whole twice, nonstop

A very strong contender for AOTY.

I started listening to "More Constant Than The Gods" and then came here and listened to it in one flow. So, basically Subrosa played on my laptop all day.

Absolutely fantastic release.

I did it backwards but same result: it's SubRosa Day

Some bands create expectation for their new releases, and sometimes they live up to it. But there is always that bit of fear that it won't. Not here. We just KNEW this would slay. No fear, just anticipation.

(And yes, I'd be eager to hear an album top this one for 2016.)

I was slightly intrigued by the last SubRosa album, but this one just blew me away. One of the better albums of 2016, for sure!

I am treating this baby gently as its quite immediate to me. But despite that I think its a album that will continue to grow as theres lots of cuts, layers and nice flowering in it.

Well, that was good. Thank you Subrosa. It's hard to find bands that are this good.
