Fuck to the yes. Highly anticipating this

Weird. I just recently decided to give their debut another shot because I don't remember being at all impressed with it the first time around.

Definitely give it another few listens. It's a highly regarded album and it took me a few listens to get on board, but it definitely meets the hype if I had to be honest. Maybe try listening to their demo instead- once I heard the demo, I didn't visit the full-length album as frequently.

I cannot wait for this album.

Yeah my problem was that I heard the demo first and the album was a bit underwhelming compared to it.

I had the luck of listening to the debut before the demo and fucking love it. I still listen to it regularly.
I didn't know about this album was so close to being released, great news

I did listen to the debut before the demo, and found it much more interesting than the former.

Nothing special, doom as doom

Gotta jam this soon, loved the debut and the demo.

A lot better than the underwhelming debut which was a disappointment compared to the demo.
One of the best doom albums of the year thus far, this one.

I'd say they're about even in terms of quality, this and the debut.

Seems like they sped-up their doom a bit for this album.
I like it so far, but I don't think I'll like it more than the debut.

Yeah this is quite a bit better than the debut. Actually quite a fantastic release. Definitely my favorite doom release of the year

Second listen: Feels a song too long. Every time so far I've felt satisfied with the playthrough of the album and after the beautiful Ashes, I expect the album to end right there (or want to, at least), then Vanished comes on and I go "Oh god, there's another one." I ended up skipping it this time. Doesn't help that the song is the longest one on the album, and there's nothing particularly memorable about it except the end.

I haven't listened to the demo, but would you say this is on par?

The demo didn't have Foreigner, which is by far the best song for me. For me the demo/studio versions of those two songs are just different, i didn't really find either better or worse. Demo has more prominent vocals, studio sounds beefier with the riffs.

Their best song by far is their cover of Gloomy Sunday.

Debut album has a worse sound overall, too muffled.No room to breathe. And the debut album versions of their own two songs which also featured on the demo don't come near the quality of the demo versions.

Why do you say 'studio sounds'? The demo was also recorded in a studio just like the debut full-length was recorded in a studio.

Gloomy Sunday is a masterpiece that this band will have a hard time beating.

Yeah they didn't. This isn't as good as the demo. It's a great album. Just not on the same level

That riff in Foundations is one of the best I've heard in 2014. Quite impressed at the moment.

I honestly don't think it's a worse sound. It's just thicker to me. I prefer 'Devoid...' on the album, and 'The Legend' on the demo, but i prefer 'Foreigner' and 'An Offering...' even more than those two anyway.

I didn't mean studio as in the recording sounds, i meant the studio, as in album, just bad use of wording haha.

I was just going to comment that. That riff is so memorable.

I haven't heard the debut, but I did give the demo a spin a year ago or so. And I wouldn't really be able to say which I prefer. But in itself, this is a very nice piece of doom.

This just gets better & better with every listen for me. A big improvement over their Debut (which I still enjoyed) & much closer to the quality of their fantastic demo

Well, my first impression was the same. The difference is: I haven't given it a 2nd chance... yet.

Will be checking this one out for sure.

Damn, just checked it out and it's pretty damn great. I like it much more than the debut. At least, after having spun both albums just once.

Doom of the year me thinks for now.

When it comes to traditional doom, no doubt about that at all. When it comes to doom in general, there are other albums I prefer to this one.

Thus far, I prefer Capilla Ardiente's debut over this. Sample.

Thanks for mentioning it. I forot I still ahd to get hold of it. I really loved their debut e.p.
And of course the band consists of two Procession members and one ex-Procession member.

Great atmosphere, but those melodies are incredibly stale. This pales in the face of other epic doom bands...
