Ovid's Withering - Scryers Of The Ibis

Very, very good - sounds so epic with mixed electronics, symphonics, black metal, deathcore and djent elements!

Best album this year, and maybe also this decade! Glad that they're finally here on metalstorm.

Sounds pretty awesome from what I've heard. Need to sit down and listen to the whole thing in one sitting still.

edit: Awesome album!

Dude, did you just double wink at me?

Wow mix it all genre

Indeed, very interesting mix of... about every direction of modern metal?!
I'd say it's at least as much Djent as Deathcore... Djentcore maybe.

How come this album is so unknown here? Not even a review? Or do people look at 'deathcore' and immediately go into a snobbery-induced 'yuck!!' state of mind?

Is it that well-known anywhere else? Aside from being a new sound, there isn't much going on here worth investigating for most people. It has deathcore and djent elements. While you may think it's snobbish for people not to check it out based on that, I think it's more about people knowing what they like and what they don't. And it seems most metalheads don't like djent or deathcore.

Great band they are mixing Djent and black together and vocals are very talented power full groll the symphonic part is very great their keyboardist knows what is he doing lyrics are good but sometimes u feel that something is not solid here and thats totally OK \m/

There are times in this album where it almost seems like they're trying to do too much at once, but yet it all comes together perfectly. When I first heard their sound described, I wasn't sure how much I'd like it. Glad I gave it a listen because this is some quality stuff.

It's all great until they churn out those djeneric deathcore passages...

Agreed. There are elements of this album I really like and elements I really don't like. Overall it's interesting but irritating at times.

A very good work in the deathcore genre, but lacks something to further attract me.
