F. This. Shit. I was looking forward to a June release.

Hurry up, only joking, ya cant rush perfection

Hopefully it'll be as good as their last release.

Already looking like album of the year material to me, judging by the samples.

Downplay the djent and we'll have a winner

Leaked .

the style and the way in which elements are mixed is great....but the metal is not very good.

Takes #1 spot in 4 lists already, must be worth checking out.

I liked the last album but from what I've heard of this it sounds fucking awful.

Just heard it, a must listen.Beautiful combination of groove + melody & atmosphere
And I'm usually totally not an industrial guy. Djent bands could take a lesson from these guys.

I expect more. Really.

From what I've heard so far, the compositions themselves aren't so bad but the way this was recorded/mixed is bothering me a little. The vocals don't meld with the music well. What I loved about Antares is that the music and vocals melded well. Here, the clean and screamed vocals seem to be too loud and take away from the atmosphere instead of add to it. The harsh vocals sound a little too rough for this too. Some of the songs are a little too similar in structure for my taste too.

If you're a metal head, most bands like this follow the same intro verse 1 chorus 1 verse 2 chorus 2 solo/bridge chorus 3 outtro approach

Really like the album. Much more consistent than "Pulse" and vocals are better. I detect no annoying mispronunciations!! Harder album, but quality throughout. They sometimes sound much like Mnemic, but much more interesting riff progression and song structure. 8.5

Another underrated album IMHO, good composition and better vocals, interesting lyrics, i like this album a lot. And i am sure that the imminent break up (and Benjamin Nominet leaving) affected the overall quality negatively. Give it a chance, don't be so harsh, its a good album,
