Are you haunted by ghosts? It's the right time of year for it.

I'm haunted by delusions that this might be excellent.

I think they call it optimism.

I remember optimism. I think.

5 years are great to make an album with awesome ideas. i'd like them a bit more aggressive sound-wise and this will kill! Kummerer is a little genius IMO..

Definitely going to be interesting to see what the new line-up sounds like. I thought Omnivium was near perfect, but multiple departures and five years between records leaves a lot of room for evolution of sound.

New song up!

LEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEED.

They already posted about half the album though.

"The Origin Of Primal Expression" is 90% "Voice Of The Soul" by Death...why didn't they just say it's a cover

Just compared both songs. Super similar song structure but the riffs are all completely different. There is no way that is a cover.

Tribute is probably a better word for it

I suppose quite a bit of it could be called a tribute, but there's a fair portion that's almost identical to the original song. Either way, they should have mentioned something.

Edit: by "cover" I meant they should acknowledge the band in some way. Obviously it's too dissimilar to be called a cover, but too similar to ignore.

I was worried about the lineup changes, especially from a songwriting perspective. I worry no longer. Enjoying this one more with each listen.

For an album that came several years and a couple of lineup changes since Omnivium, there is a lot of Omnivium present in this one. I love the Alkaloid record, but this one is awfully good, too. If the band splitting means we get twice as many good bands out of it, I guess it wasn't such a bad move after all.

Perfect! I love the Focus (Cynic) elements.

Hmm, nicely executed, but devoid of what I would like to call soul. I just don't feel it man.

Definitely a homage to Death or at least Chuck. I think that's why it's a bonus track. It has identical riffs and solos to the ones in "Voice of the Soul", "Without Judgement" and possibly another but just changed up a bit.

It's pretty apparent and that's probably why they didn't give an acknowledgement. I immediately thought of Death when I heard it.

Must have been all the touring Steffen Kummerer did as the vocalist that rubbed off on him.

Count me in as one of those who had a lot of worries about this release as a result of the lineup changes. Still don't think this tops their past 2 albums for me, but seeing as those were two of my favorite releases in '09 and '11, that' is by no means supposed to come across as a negative statement. This album feels far more melodic than the past two, but still gives a really healthy dose of tech and prog elements. The production on this album is absolutely stellar, everything just sounds super crisp and clean. As expected, Linus is absolutely lights-out on this album and the sound of the bass in the mixing is top-notch.

Me likey

The best album of the year.

The solo on The Monist makes me want to die. Who at the studio thought that sounded okay???

Tom Geldschläger.

Love it

Meh. Like someone said about Alkaloid, only style, no substance and the most boring production one could ever imagine.

Very good album. Far from disappointing.

Well, there are a lot of typical technical death metal bands nowadays. However, these German guys know how to make really good technical deathstaff)

I'm willing to call this my favorite album of the year so far, solely on how incredible "Perpetual Infinity" is. I need to listen to the whole album a few more times, but I'm really impressed so far.

Sounds like something I would say. From what I've heard of this that's definitely true.

Huge dissapointment... i expected much more from those guys.. an album without soul..

Man, it took me about half a year to recover from how dull this album is.
