Ya know, that's all I'm really into these days anyway. Just hard asskicking metal. I don't need pretensions or mood or anything else that might be mistaken as being "deep" or complex.

This is a great band. I found them shortly before this album came out and was very impressed and still remain very impressed with this band. Highly recommend these dudes. \m/

Apparently I listened to Divinity but I don't remember anything about it...which is probably why I don't remember if I checked this out or not. Anyway, your review made me a little curious so I'll try to fit this in before the end of the year. We'll see.

Doesn't really matter if its complex, deep, or moody. I'm not always in the "I wanna listen to some fucking evil shit mood", and I'm guessing I'm not alone on this since other people have diverse tastes as well. Just saying, if you think music is often "mistaken" as being deep or complex, then you're probably the one whose been mistaken.

Anytime I get challenged in a post I check the persons' age on their profile. And guess what, it always seems to be some teenager.

I'm not your father

so you don't need to be defensive with me. I wasn't attacking anybody's taste. I was merely saying that I'm mostly into fast, agro stuff.

Listening to this right now and liking it. Really seems to be one of those pure ass kickers of an album.

It seems to me like you're making an issue out of nothing.

Anyway, what would you rate this? (Just trying to keep it on topic.)

Maybe you're right.

I like this album. An 8.5. I like the speed and the vocals are pretty good too. I don't think it has much long-term appeal but right now I'm enjoying it.

So I've been listening to this over the course of the past week and I've gotta say it kicks more ass than I initially gave it credit for. Surprisingly a very good release and probably my favorite melodic black metal album of 2011.

That's another ass-kicking band I have discovered with Fleshgod Apocalypse ! This album mixes dark fury with inspired riffs and parts ! Now just wondering whether Divinity is as good, need to check it out !

Wow this album is killer, there's tons of variety here in the vocals and riffs as well as the overall mood. As the reviewer noted, the drums are fairly unchanging, but fast and brutal enough to keep the energy level very high throughout this beast. There are some extreme high points on here for me, notably the riffs in 'The Arrival of The False Gods, Invictus, and Sons of Hun-Vucub' so I think this one is going to be in heavy rotation for a while!
