A controversial album, to say the least. Disillusion's first effort - Back To Times Of Splendor - was an impressive progressive, melodic death metal album, and was really well received by the metal community. Gloria takes a completely different way, much colder, experimental, leaving death metal far away. That's why a lot of fans of the first album where completely taken aback by 'the new Disillusion'.

Posts: 1334 Written by tea[m]ster on 18.07.2013 at 18:33 I totally agree-- there are some unbelievable moments in Gloria, to be sure. But, in my opinion, it's also hard not to sympathize with the criticisms of the people whose hearts got completely torn apart by Gloria... I certainly believe Gloria has its flaws, but it's pretty entertaining.

And while I certainly welcome any band that doesn't do the same thing over and over and that experiments with each release, I can understand it when a fan finds a sound he likes and just wants more of the same. I myself am not at all like that though, if the choice were mine I'd want every single band to do something new with each release. That being said, I haven't actually heard this album yet, so I don't know if it's drastically different.

Quite a drastic change of style compared to the previous album, even some industrial influences can be spotted now... Anyway, "Don't Go Any Further" is an impressive and very powerful and catchy song and I still love the video they made for it (but noone can deny that it's heavily influenced by Beastie Boys' very own Sabotage).

Sounds like Alchemist - Spiritech to me. I don't like Spiritech at all and this also doesn't sound good to me. I tried listening to this band with an open mind but I couldn't embrace them. Some tracks are cool though "Aerophobic" "The Hole We Are In" & "Too Many Broken Cease Fires"

Revisiting this album lately, and just now really starting to appreciate it. It's very proggy and nice, even a bit avant-garde.
