At the very least, major praise for horrendous releasing yet another record with a great mix for the bass.



Album is everything I wanted from the band at this point: love the more proggy elements and how they’re still crafting out their own unique sound. Pumped to see what else they do in the future.



I enjoyed the more on the nose heaviness off Idol compared to the more melodic side of Anaretta, but this to me is a perfect blend and the next logical progression for the band, which I’m happy they aren’t content with keeping the formula the same and milking that out.



I already prefer this more than Idol after a few listens. A few of the songs even gave me some Thrash Vektor vibes.



Album artwork is also gorgeous and a great representation of the record.



Also Fuck me for just formally finding out the passing of TheSpirit, RIP

I like it more than Idol for sure, and it's slowly crawling over Anareta as my favorite. Really can't get enough of this album.



@JWT sorry you found out this way, there's a blog post about him too if you wanna check it out.

Thanks for sharing, I’ve been here since 2009, and while I come and go I still feel the camaraderie of those early years and the users here.



I’m actually getting married this weekend so it’s def been a week of reminiscing and moving forward.



Excellent review by the way, agree with everything you said.

I see this album as a stepping stone for something even bigger. It didn't top Idol for me but I get it as part of the process. Still amazing album and top 10 metal albums of the year.

The real question is how does a “subterranean watchtower” work logistically speaking 🧐🧐

I don't think you can see much from there, but the audio quality must be nuts.

"Regarding the length I'm gonna paraphrase a youtube comment... "I just play it again" haha"



Oh Dewi... I'm just gonna lay it down for a sec... so it can breathe, I don't wanna burn it, I'll give it a couple of days' rest and come to it again.



I'm feeling a strong 4.5 for this... I think I like it better than idol...
