Not a huge fan on the band, but this is the most structured thing they ever let out, without any discount whatsoever.

Rips.

I’m all for their more melodic bent and appreciate a continuation / development of that sound. Enjoy the prod on this track too (often an issue with these guys). Very encouraging signs

"Stare Into Death..." is superbly mixed and produced, never got the hate concerning that. The cleans on that record are some of the coldest and most despondent tones I've heard.

Since that's one of the best DM records around, sure will be a tall order to top it.

I dont understand how people are saying this is some return to form or some standout song thats better than their last couple of albums, this is exactly their sound as it typically is and has been for the last 3 albums more or less, thats a good thing and I wouldn't have it any other way. But if you like this and somehow not their last few albums I really just don't understand that take haha.

"This has potential to be their most accessible album yet which is a good thing imo"

Their last album was very accessible as far as this genre can be, not seeing how this song is any kind of indicator of a change in their sound.

J Saint Merat is just so talented on the drums, on another level, guitarist Michael Hoggard is phenomenal too

Yeah guitar work is absurd, especially considering everything he writes is so dissonant and weird, I wish I could play this stuff.

J Saint Merat is a huge differential for Ulcerate. One of the best drummers alive rn. I hope new album is a return to form after the bland auto-pilot (yet still great) that was Stare... (I'm going to get roasted hard...)

PS: Really liked this new track, it sounds more like Shrines than Stare, which is what I wish for, Shrines being my fav Ulcerate
