With the ease of launching an album nowadays through the internet and the huge amount of bands, it is impossible to get to know everything that arises. The listener should moderate between listening to the old bands with their new releases or collecting dubious tunes. The second way, it's the hard way, but go ahead, you may find a treasure in the end of the road.

Looking forward to it. Their second album was surprisingly good.

Got it in all mighty FLAC. Listening to it as I write. On my 2nd track. Love what I am hearing so far. Seems to be a continuation of Void Mother. Fine with me. I love this sound.

At this point, I slightly prefer Void Mother because the songs had a better flow there, I think. But I heard it just once, so you never know... One thing's for sure though, "Nieprawota" contains some of the heaviest moments in their discography.

Only given this one spin so far but it seems a slight step down from Void Mother, which was an album I thoroughly enjoyed.

The heavy parts of this album are brilliant but the flow of the album seems a little off to me as the mellower parts really drag on at times for no apparent reason. Will have to give it a few more spins to see if it grows on me.

Yeah I thought that was not polite and besides not everyone must love the same music I love. They may find it boring as I FIND it wonderful.

Never had a problem with Sphinx's style of music and it can be clearly seen in "Void Mother". The only thing that puts me incredibly off is offbeat vocals. I really feel it should be in conjunction with flow of music.

May be i don't know much of the dynamics of post-metal and how vocals fits in, but so far what i've heard from OS is very interesting music ruined by unconventional vox.

Idk. I think LascaillesShroud might be even more so; he constantly praises them on Facebook.

Loving it! I probably like it more than their previous album. The singer sounds really sweet when she does clean vocals this time around. The whole thing feels more melodic and groovy and it works.

Thanks for reminding me that this album exists. I need to give it a shot.
