Chuck Billy loves himself a guest appearance doesn't he

I've listened to Melancholy quite a bit in the past couple of years, and the new single out today is quality, very excited for this album

Gave Melancholy a perfect score, so I can't wait to hear this. Both of the singles so far, as well as the Lamb of God cover, have been fire. Very excited for this record.

I absolutely adored "Melancholy" so this is no surprise that I also find this excellent. More spins will be required to say if it surpass the previous album, but I'm very impressed with this. "Farewell", "The Coming Fire", "Life of Exile" and the ending trilogy of songs are my favorite ones. That opening song just hit so hard. They stepped up the game when it comes to orchestrations. 2022 off to a great start.

This band is so great that there has been no single day without listening at least a song from them for me like 2 years. and this album expresses their musical advancement in terms of brutality and gravity. yea, so much heavier musically and lyrically and.. ben's vocals... yea he outclasses mikael's for me. sorry mikael my man but this dude is slightly better:) for death vocals he is no1 for me.

And also imo this album's strength comes from the fact when you think the song is going to chill in a second but it gets more brutal and faster which leaves you beaten in a good way:)

Brilliantly executed, sounds huge and I love this mix of Deathcore with symphonic elements (even though I'm not a big Deathcore fan). However, I'm not digging the vocals, Too many layers and effects, and while sometimes they do fit the instrumental, I think the album would benefit from a less over-the-top approach to vocals in some places. Apart from that, great job in the production also.

Those guys can't ever stop impressing me. A powerful and brutal album, with amazing lyrics. And the song with Chuck Billy is really a monster of song.

It's alright, could have been a little shorter in my opinion. Very repetitive throughout the album.

Loved this album. I'm amazed at how every element they add fits perfectly into the song and has a significant added value. I'm not sure what it means anymore, but I find it's incredible that they are producing this level of quality music as independants.

Really enjoying this album. They've struck a nice balance between melody, aggression and technicality. It's been getting better for me with each listen too. Ben Duerr's growls are up there with the best in the biz in my opinion.

The symphonic sections do their best to hide that this is just a very standard modern deathcore album.

Listening to this album felt like it took some good amount of money to produce this album. It just felt really really polished. The musicianship is stupendous. Probably the best in deathcore business right now.

"Farewell" is one of the best songs of the year and totally overshadows the rest of the album.
