There's improvements, and then there's astronomical improvements. Think of it this way; Breathing The Fire was a damn solid album, that is, it was, until Forever Abomination decided to strut right up, undo it's belt, drop it's pants and pinch off a triple-coiler all over everything Skeletonwitch has done to date.

Alright kiddies, go throw out your copies of Breathing The Fire. You won't need them anymore.

This renders 90% of the other thrash albums released this year unnecessary.

Isn't Tony Laureano with them now? If he's on this, then this is gonna be a sick fucking album, no doubt.

Emphasis on also. I'm stoked for this one, hopefully it can be added to the mile-long list of great albums that came out this year.

Though I agree Skyrim (despite not being music) is also something I'm stoked for this year, I think you might be a little deluded if you still think Wintersuns Time is actually going to come out.

That or you're completely unaware of how many different excuses have already been used to bump back Wintersuns Time.

No, I'm aware. They've played some of the songs live already so I can see it coming out in December or early 2012. No reason to attack me on this. Geez. All I did is post an excited comment about my opinion that included speculation of an album release. Anyways no reason to argue something like a release date.

Pretty good black-tinged thrash... Vocalist sometimes turns me off when he barks like Dani Filth, but the album's pretty groovy overall.

One of the best releases of the year, and by far the best skeletonwitch album.

Goddamn great.

Usually thrash\black is my thing, but this one is like cheesy glam blackend speed disco-thrash.

Not bad, but I have heard better.

Is it really THAT good ? i mean their other albums lost my interest in no time at all.. the only song i ever heard that was good enough to keep me interested the whole way through was Cast Into The Open Sea. someone throw me a bone here and tell me whether or not you think i'll like this release.

I think you really should check this one out. Even I thought their previous albums were kinda boring. But this is definitely a HUUGE step forward for the band.

Yup! great and very energetic album. I remember when Beyond the Permafrost came out I thought these guys had something going for them, I'm glad the potential manifested itself.

I listened to this again because I wanted to hear what cheesy glam speed disco sounded like.

Still waiting.

An extremely good album,but not their best. Some of their darker moments are displayed on this album, thats for sure. Cant wait to see them with the black dahlia murder!

I love the guitar riffs and the sound they have achieved (specially the drum) with this album, in my opinion their best. The album starts very good, but even seems like the disc goes to better gradually until the end, but i missed a couple of songs more, you will want more of this good music. Attention to Rejoice In Misery and My Skin Of Deceit awesome!
