Updated, release date and artwork announced. I'm expecting the potential shown on White Tomb to be fully realized, I can't wait...

Pretty unspectacular stuff if you ask me. Solid for the first two tracks (though I wasn't surprised or particularly engaged the once) and then I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve with 'When the Sun Drowns in the Ocean' - leave that kind of music to the experts, boys.

6.5 odd.

I think Mammal is better then White Tomb. These guys have definitely progressed their sound while keeping themselves minimal.

Everything he doesn't like is metalcore. Britney Spears, Elton John, Michael Moore, and green beans are also metalcore, in case you guys didn't know.

I would definitely go if I were you. Don't know the cost but Altar Of PLagues is worth it and maybe one or two or maybe even all the openers are great fun as well.

Quoting autothrall's review on MA:

Quote:
Fans of spatial, wide open post-rock or shoegazer black metal like Deafheaven or Lantlos will undoubtedly find this an absorbing experience, but then for many such folks you could simply juggle 2-3 notes and apply feedback and rasping and it would seem a Renaissance.


What a fucking filthy arrogant person he is.

IMO the profound lore cover is much better. Cool album.

Old quote but I agree. It probably didn't get much exposure outside of North America with Candlelight and Back on Black handling European distribution though. I think it suits the sound of the music better than the original.
