"from the highly-anticipated re-recording"

hmmm...

it is so

Oh hell yea, this album deserved a re-recording. Time to fuckin bow down once again

Wow this sucks.

More djent crap with spacey themes and terrible mixing. Where's the fucking bass? Like there's no low-end at all.

This suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

neat, but kinda pointless...

this is actually pretty exciting, the new reign was a great album

Can they even replicate the album at all??? I guess I'll have to listen, but I don't think they've got the balls they had when this was recorded initially.

That was fuckin incredible. Hell yeah this is great.

that was sick so stoked for this

This is awesome as fuck

Probably wont even listen to this. The original is nostalgia and i love the shitty production it had.

I love the riffs from 1:22 onward. I'm wondering why they left it off TNR.

that's their best work so wooooh

no the discovery is teh best

2way tie between Discovery and AHP. The New Reign is second best. Soulsphere follows afterwards. Pure facts. Fuck TWDA period.

This is the best song they've put out in a while imo.

A re-recording of the ep would have been nice 5 years ago. Now.... not so sure. Their production chops have significantly dwindled post-Discovery.

TD

TNR

SS

AHP

TWDA

Noice.

discovery has some solos that are cool and all but nah

were they like 10 years old when they started or

Well, I have to at least give them credit. It sounds better than their past 3 albums. That doesn't really mean anything though.

so prog wow

were they like 10 years old when they started or

Haven't been a fan of these guys for a long time, but I'll still listen to it once.

The New Reign was cool so this is cool.

"TD
TNR
SS
AHP
TWDA"

you literally just put them in order of ratings of this site.
Anyway I really enjoyed A Higher Place. Don't think I liked the sound quality of The New Reign when I heard it.

They never did anything that even remotely resembled "reigning"...

the discovery is a fun album, but that's it

FUUUUUUUUCK this new track is fantastic whoa. That lead at the end is one the best they've ever done.

Ugh, makes me even more sad as to why they don't sound like this anymore. They were at the their best with TNR and AHP and with this excellent modern produced track, I'm really looking forward to the re-recording.

kinda wish more bands would do this just for the lulz

This has me hyped. Hopefully it's good.

AHP doesn't get enough love. The run from The New Reign to the Discovery was awesome.

FUCKIN BOW DOWN!!!

@dbizzles agreed hard. The fact that AHP gets so overlooked when its one of their best works is crazy.

lol this fuckin band

were they like 10 years old when they started or

well if you'd READ

And then do math.

Pretty good. The last 30 seconds tho damn

were they like 10 years old when they started or

More stuff from a great band =😃

Really curious to hear what they do with the middle section of Abstract Art or if they just keep it the same.

nice cash grab

i hate when bands do this. I never jammed the Rareform re-release and listened to that and The New Reign non stop back in the day. Song was pretty cool though, I dig the shorter song length.

Can't w8 for more treble-rich, cheese-synth, angst-filled chug-fests.

That being said there's fleeting moments of wonderful punchy melody. But too few and far between in their discography for me. Might check this out.

I can't wait to hear Abstract Art redone, that Crash Bandicoot-esque synth in that song is so good

The synths are so dope on The New Reign.

this is fucking awesome

Dude the Rareform re-release is better than the original. It's literally the only re-release worth a damn from a modern day metal band.

Hard to say if this re-release is gonna be any better than its original, but that new song is certainly worth something.

Rareform re-release is better than the original [2]

I actually like the original Rareform better. Only listened to the remaster a couple times though.

Bloc, you didn't like the remaster for You Fail Me?

Converge you mean? I've never actually given them a proper listen tbh.

I guess my comment was more towards those newer djenty bands that re-release albums every year lol

where the bass tho

rules this some hard nostalgia trip

Rareform re-release is better than the original [3]

Converge you mean? I've never actually given them a proper listen tbh.

I already [3]'d doteight god

"given your history and activity on this forum, that's incredible"

LOL good point

Can't wait to hear how hard Empires Erased is gonna sound.

YEAR OF THE OSIRIS

Vintage bloc

Also true

Fuck, the Rareform re-release is really a enormously lucky thing !
The songwriting is great and got even better with the re-release, some aspects and parts that have been changed or added bring so much more fun into some songs and makes them even better. It just adds the final touch. Also, the way grant (the vocalist before anthony) placed his shouts fits just perfect to the grooves. Then the time where this album happened is perfect for it too. Its a perfect blend between progressive metalcore, djent and any other modern metal genres for these days. And now it still feels like a real classic in my ears with these different types of metal influences but still modern as well.
Furthermore, the production fits perfect. Its not overproduced, streight to the point but rough enough to hear the authentic playing.

Im really looking forward for the BOO re-release, but to be honest, i dont expect a similar lucky release

@blacklight
Replace your earphones brah, I can hear the bass just fine.

That guitar solo slaaaaays. Superb song!
