it does snipe, almost 10 years as a band of experienced, well-read, well-versed, realistic artists that can translate themselves through their bodies of work deserves much praise.

it also disappoints me when the main gripe of this album by users here is how long it is and how that

overshadows their attention over the music itself

lyrics on this also rule. they've gotten really good at using those longwinded riffs to paint pictures around the words if you follow along. still rules regardless though.

My only gripe is that they are playing in Birmingham with The Body and I was just there last night.

This may be their best album to me but they're all so close and consistent in quality that it's impossible to determine.

i think peasant is noticeably less consistent than the other three personally but it still has some of their best material on it.

peasant is like tyrant in how straightfoward it is but it leaves me wanting more.. but then again they

churned lots of material and placed 4(6) songs on it and the rest in other releases



also it's pretty low in volume

yeah the whole second half of mt. driskill is one of his more striking passages for sure. second half of tyrant (the song) goes hard as fuck too.

But then there's Summit, too. Grissecon has one of the best riffs.

And you shall know them by the fruit they bear: intolerance, manipulation, genocide. All in the name of a god conjured in the imaginations and machinations of men. How dejected and unfulfilled. Look to me in hate, pity or indifference--but don't expect longing or acceptance in these eyes, or in these words--not for your pompous egotism, boisterous moral posturing, righteous indignation, or resignation to constant suffering. I would rather burn in hell than cling to man-made falsehoods. I would rather live in constant doubt and fear, expecting an unfeeling abyss than embrace false hope or extravagant fairy tales. There is no great shaper in the heavens. Nothingness awaits.

yeah summit rules but the songs here have a life of their own and don't have the riffs as the main driving force

they were definitely experimenting with that kind of approach on summit too. this is a lot heavier to my ears though, summit was bleak but not as crushing. and heathen still riffs, songs like into the marshlands especially.

I'm positive that we can all agree that Fucking Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean is one of the sickest song titles.
