torn beyond reason was definitely pretty great, sounds like this is pretty slick too.

Album Rating: 2.5

The mix is perfectly awful; a mash of drums, guitars, bass and vocals to form a swirling cacophony of sound so illegible and so imperfect

Definitely going to check this out

yeah i dont get the hate towards the mix i mean it isnt the best thing ever but its not bad by any means

Album Rating: 2.5

it literally hurts my ears to listen to, it is so tinny and has absolutely no low-end at all and like, where the hell are the drums?



it totally ruins it for me which is such a shame because i can hear that musically this is very good but i just can't get past how bad the production is

mine has fine bass presence and i can hear the drums just fine.

and come on complaining about treble in a black metal release is like complaining that hip hop has too much bass

The drums sound like they were pushed back in the mix. They're distinct, but they sound like

they're weirdly across the room somewhere instead of being in the center of everything. This mix

isn't clear at all. It's just fake lo-fi, which makes it all just more painful to listen to.



And it's baffling to me why they did this anyway, since the last record had much excelled at being

brooding and dark without needing awful recording values.

I actually hated the drums on their last record. I thought the contrast between the guitar tones still being raw and the drum tones being so polished made the drums sound like midi samples. This one does have a lot of high end but I don't think it detracts from the overall quality in anyway, plus if you don't like the treble you can always EQ in more mids and low end on whatever player you use to balance it out.

im listening to this with 0 eq through purposefully flat response cans and i sincerely dont know what theyre talking about

Album Rating: 4.2

I think it sounds absolutely fine personally. I like treble-y tones in black metal.

I think the production is great, I was just pointing out that the mix isn't really good like some other bands of similar genre and that helps give the record character.

seriously dont know what people are complaining about. especially people who dug towards the depths, the drums and vocals on that are pushed waaay farther back...

Album Rating: 2.5

well i didn't dig towards the depths, so...



but yeah idk what to say, the treble is so high at the very beginning of the album it literally hurts to listen to and even when i sit there thinking i'm getting used to it absolutely nothing clicks



the riffs are okay but i just thought what they did on torn beyond reason was much more compelling and interesting (also disagree about the drums on that record, i adore the drums on that record)

Album Rating: 2.5

i like torn beyond reason better as well
