I get what they're going for but it just doesn't work. Way too much time spent trying to be experimental with drawn out drone(ish) passages throughout and not enough time bashing skulls in. It's so fucking boring.

i feel like slower drone-y atmospheric stuff is always gonna be controversial in metal circles because they're fallen for the idea that all metal albums have to be all-gas-no-breaks
without slower moments and dynamic shifts it all becomes a blur so maybe i'll like the new one

I don't think it's a metal thing at all, but when you're expecting grind then yeah maybe it'll get some people's back up, for sure

The balance on this one was just right, they still used the atmo-segments / veered off into eerie noise territory without pummelling the listener constantly, but it worked. Latest one seems like a stretched, more black metal leaning version of that idea yet I haven't ascertained whether I enjoy the balance yet

Honestly I'm more than halfway through it and except for few second interludes here and there I haven't had a single drawn out drone passage and frankly I'm feeling like Hawks is playing me here

It goes hard when it wants to for sure, the length is pretty gargantuan (lol) for a record of its ilk though. There is definitely some time for 'spacing' later on

It is definitely drawn out to shit. So much down time with not shit happening. It's just a snoozefest.
