Loved ''Jupiter''. Eager to listen to new stuff!

Jupiter was definitely not "critically acclaimed" lol, I and plenty of others were considerably underwhelmed by it. Atheist were one of my favorite death metal bands though when I was first getting into it like 15 - 16, and remain as such. Here's hoping the next effort gets things back on track.
