Might still get to that point; I never rate anything a 10 unless I've heard it a million times and have finalized my decision. This is probably one of those albums where I'm going to do that.

When your automatic reaction to hearing a crow is always humming the intro to "Piercing Where They Might"... You just know that's a ten right there.

I do the same thing. Actually, just the other day there were some crows outside my school and I thought of that song in my head.

Something about this record still doesn't click. I know it's good and I enjoy listening to it, but I find some tracks drag a little and the atmosphere feels a little limited, like it doesn't full envelope me. I wish there was more of the depressing howling background versus the almost cheesy synth that seems to always take the forefront.

NWN! is honored to present this new edition of "Lurker of Chalice," which will include the bonus track featured on previous vinyl editions of the album. Additionally, NWN! will be working with Wrest to unearth and remaster some previously unreleased Lurker of Chalice material for future releases.

I don't want that, though..

Argh, that's just "kvlt" drivel. Following albums will not tarnish at all the effect this album has on people. That's just "comic guy" mentality.

I need more

I really don't think new LOC material would sit well with me, truly think about it. As others have noted, it'd probably ruin the magic surrounding this release a little and the sort of "one off treasure" status that it's amassed over time. I highly respect Wrest for keeping what other stuff has been recorded under wraps for so long too. He's clearly an artist who understands when to not beat something to death and when to respect the legacy surrounding a piece of work instead of continuously milking it for fans and cash.

Exactly, man, at least you get it.

Eh, like Rod said any new material wouldn't diminish the status of this for me. I love this release because it's an hour of perfect music, not because it's the only album under that name.

I don't listen to albums and think "Wrehhh, I can't enjoy this now. Goddamn that less than brilliant other record they released!"

If that's you then maybe you're into the mystique of something, rather than the art itself.

From the artists side, what would really be wrong about pursuing that if you are aware of its niche reception? Many of the recent reissues from NWN went to zero as fast as a Mayflies lifespan.

The CD is available to buy from Nuclear War Now's website, but I'm not sure if I can trust it.

First track is really good and atmospheric. But rest of tracks are boring as fuck.

Use Tor.

Maybe use proxies, if possible.

A tough one to call between an 8 or a 9. I would give it 8.5 overall, but with a very slight leaning towards an 8.

The atmosphere is amazing, but the only negative for me is that it can become a little bit monotonous in places with a little bit too much repetition. Overall, I am impressed though.

Bought it, it's worth it.

I've listened to this album probably a dozen times to have it hopefully "click" with one of the listens... Still has yet to happen. I still just find this too loose, meandering, and almost empty to me. The lead solos and melody from the synth is distracting from the rumbling, almost spinning feeling bass and guitar.
I've listened with good headphones, and through good speakers, at night and in the middle of the day, when I'm tired, when I'm sad, when I'm happy... still not holy to me

I'm halfway through listening again and for sure there are a ton of good moments and songs (The Blood Falls... is spectacular), but it doesn't reach that god tier like it does for so many others. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dis is cool

"Sometimes I feel like I'm not solid. I'm hollow. There's nothing behind my eyes. I'm a negative of a person. All I want is blackness, blackness and silence."
Musically this album and its atmosphere are incredible and 10/10 but it's way too depressing at times. It's like gazing into the abyss of despair. Still one one of my favourite album, but not recommended for people who have a depressive personality, this will crush you. Some people also like to seek this feeling of despair and doom. Why I don't understand, listen to something like Lykathea Aflamed instead, or Deafheaven, it will give you hope and optimism like a warm summer glow

I am depressive, bordering on clinical depression most of the time. I love this album and the feeling of gazing into the abyss, because it makes me feel like I am not the only one who struggles with existential dread and nihilism. I get this music, because it gets me. That's pretentious AF, but it's trueeeee.

I can understand that, I find humans experience a spectrum of emotions in their life, sadness, nostalgia, longing, hope, despair and of course depression etc. Music as an art form is great at expressing and evoking one or more of such emotion. But if one exclusively seeks a certain type of emotion in their music it may alter your mind, your feeling and ultimately your outlook on life, you may become addicted to say the emotion of sadness and even find solace and contentment in it. If you like music I think it's good to diversify and listen to all kinds, to experience the full range that the human experience can offer and not just corner or trap yourself in small room. Only then can one achieve serenity

There's solid wisdom in your words, sir.

I didn't think much of this at first, but it's getting kind of addictive now...
