I was listening to an interview with Lemay and essentially what he said was that the tracks before Chamdo discussed Tibetan culture and the tracks after dealt with the struggles the country and its people went through during its occupation by the Chinese. Lemay really knows his shit

lmfao yea sure, ANYONE could've released this album. It's funny the criticisms people have about this release, no dm band sounds remotely like gorguts so claiming anyone could just magically whip this up is you basically grasping at straws trying really hard for something negative to say about it. give me a break

Because learning how to read basic sheet music automatically means that you're qualified to write an epic technical death metal record that no one but Gorguts could make. Fuck yeah m/

This is just so boring, and completely lost the X factor that made Gorguts, Gorguts. The songs don't do anything, they are just

strings of technical riffs tied together. Sure they "experiment" and throw in a long, classical interlude (because that's NEVER

been done before) but that doesn't save it from sounding like an amalgam of every modem tech death band. You're right,

nobody sounds like Gorguts.... But this album isn't Gorguts.

I just don't get the 2.5 or lower scores for this, even on a somewhat objective basis. It's not like there are that many of them or

anything and it's not like I don't respect others' opinions, but to me it sounds like a more concise take on the usual sound.

Even then, I don't see how that's a major disqualifier. If anything, it's probably a decent gateway album at the least where it

isn't as off the wall.

@spirit - and there's a proper criticism, good on you dude...though I don't see this as an amalgam of today's tech scene since I see

this as being way more original than 99% of the stuff out there. to me the songs don't feel slapped together but all progress really

well. Take enemies of compassion for example, it flows perfectly and the section in the middle where it slows down brings

everything together so damnit well. opinions are opinions but this sounds very fresh in a very stale metal genre

Also tons of metal musicians have taken music theory classes, not sure why everyone thinks that's some crazy idea

Agreed MO. When compared to modern tech death, this really stands out as its own thing

Yeah, I'm probably coming at it from a broader angle like MO. If someone was trying to get into DM, I'd much rather see them listen to something like this as opposed to a dime-a-dozen DM or Deathcore band.

M/ hard dudes. Also, from a production standpoint this blows modern plastic dm out of the water.

That's my favorite part of the album tbh. The production is ridiculous

^ agreed hard. It's not raw or anything, but it's extremely organic by comparison. That, and it's not compressed to death.
