Rejoice, my metal brethren and fellow LOTR enthusiasts! Earendil has persuaded the Valar with his Silmaril to make war upon Morgoth for the sake of Middle Earth, casting him beyond the Door Of Night into The Void for all eternity (yeah, that was added in there for the nerds like myself that've actually read The Silmarillion). Tolkien references aside, Summoning's new album, no doubt one of the most anticipated releases of the year, is finally upon us, and from the very first moments of its music the band make it quite clear that the 7 years of waiting since Oath Bound back in '06 have been well worth it for 2013's Old Mornings Dawn.

I guess this album will be soon downgraded (especially if/when it hits one of the highest places on Top 200 chart), and the rating will then stabilize somewhere between 8.4 - 8.7 (after few months time). Otherwise yet another amazing release by Summoning.

Posts: 31 Written by Silent Creeper on 10.06.2013 at 15:55 Yeah, it's very likely. Now it have a huge 9.2 rating, but it is just over 160 votes, for example, Stroghold have over 400. So current rating probably isn't even a half of all future voters.

The more I listen to this album the more I love it. It's even better than Oath Bound (which was my favorite one). Everything I like in Summoning music is in Old Mornings Dawn and even after 10 listenings I really cannot fault this cd at any point. I guess that is the definition of "perfect" right ?

Posts: 31 Written by guill62 on 10.06.2013 at 21:27 Well, if it'll reach 200 votes, and it still will be 9.2 rating (above 9.15 precisely), it'll have the 1st place on MS All-Time list

Posts: 3104 Written by Cronomaster on 11.06.2013 at 17:22 Damn, it will be epic seeing this album rule the top 200.  However, I have my doubts... somehow I don't think it'll come in at #1, but definitely in the top 10 though.

Posts: 500 Written by Boxcar Willy on 12.06.2013 at 01:48 I think that this "overrated" results from a long absence. Summoning come back after 7 years and it's normal, that there's so much excitement. Maybe when the emotions subside, some people will start to more objective rating.

Posts: 2440 Written by Góral on 12.06.2013 at 03:41 If you look the other Summoning albums (except early Bm-styled ones), they all have high 8s and even a 9. I think this one will have something similar. Basically coz it sounds like the other albums, but still has the little changes they always do. I think long absence has quite a minor role. Other band that are more popular than Summoning also took shitload of time to release something new, yet didn't automatically end up with #1 solely by excitement/fanboyism.

C'mon. 9 more votes. (I haven't voted yet, order only shipped yesterday.)

Posts: 3104 Written by Boxcar Willy on 12.06.2013 at 01:48 How so? Simply because you don't like it a lot isn't a valid reason. If you're not into a certain subgenre, then don't judge it. On a side note, it just came in as #1 in the top 200 albums of all time. Although it's not going to be #1 for long I suppose.

Posts: 3104 Written by [user id=109200] on 12.06.2013 at 20:51 Yeah, except that almost no nu metal music gets high ratings, which means even people who like the music don't think it's all that awesome. Summoning is either loved or hated by people and it's still rated extremely high. I have yet to come across a ground-breaking nu metal release.

It's annoying, but it's something that has always happened to the top albums of the year every year. On the other hand, though, this discussion has become nothing more than a circlejerk about a pointless rating.

Posts: 9584 Written by Erik M. on 12.06.2013 at 19:10 You're assuming that I don't listen to atmospheric black metal. This is overrated in the same way Time 1 was, and how Necrophagists will be. When a band releases a good album, and then doesn't follow it up for a long period of time, they create hype. Time 1 is the perfect example of this, it had a 9.4 with +100 for the first two weeks, then people realized that it was another boring, over produced pile, and started to rate it reasonably. It now has an 8.5 or thereabouts. So yes, the amount of Summoning Fan boys here is too damn high.
