Good album here but no moments that really surprised me

The only previous Hexvessel album I've heard is When We Are Death and it's a long time since then, but I don't remember there being the blackened touches there - if those are new, they're an interesting element to include

I've not heard any of their previous releases before but I quite like this. The blackened touches are a great feature which adds a certain dark eerie soundscape, and the clean vocals have a haunting creepiness about them that fits very well with the music. I'm definitely hearing more psychedelic rock than neofolk here though.

So this is the most memorable song from their previous album that I've heard, just to give a sense of how different this new one is: When I Am Dead

It's very different indeed. This track sounds a lot lighter and more 60s psychedelia influenced and reminds me of The Doors, where as this latest release is much harder to distinguish, it's quite unique, but if anything I would say they now sound more like a blackened Vanilla Fudge.

Good album , but can be very good with better production

The album cover is ssssick!

Cool album and sounds "old" like its from 70's or something. My fav song was A Cabin in Montana. Such a atmospheric and black song. Would like to spin this more than once, its that good

A metal journalist for Sweden's biggest evening newspaper has this as her best album of the year. She usually have great taste but I strongly disagree with her on this. I've tried listening to this album twice now but I don't hear the magic. There's nothing here that catches my interest whatsoever. I'm not saying it's a bad album, it's just not for me.
