Album Rating: 4.5

"What song would be the standout track (like "Deflowering the Maidenhead, Displeasuring the Goddess" and "Wester Vespertine" from the previous albums). I need the song that just sticks immediately and stands out from the rest of the album".

There's some contenders, Crawling King Chaos, The Dying of the Embers, Suffer Our Dominion..

>he negged my dream theater review with 5 accounts lol

Album Rating: 4.5

"What this album does better than the previous two imo is a unified sound across the entire runtime without sacrificing a good degree of variety". Yeah agree it's well balanced. Quite a brilliant record actually. Perfect representation of CoF in 2021

Still wondering if this has the staying power to be a five, it feels like it might

Every Time I Die’s new one just made my first five of the year too, what a week for new music

Album Rating: 3.5

'There's some contenders, Crawling King Chaos, The Dying of the Embers, Suffer Our Dominion..'



The first two are certainly my faves thus far. They seem pretty standout-ish to me.

Album Rating: 3.5

I do think it kinda lacks a discog level standout. cryptoriana had wester vespertine and nothing here is quite at that level i think

Album Rating: 4.0

Never checked the videos for the singles, but one day I will gather the courage:



Crawling King Chaos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wks1aBh49sQ

Necromantic Fantasies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiV5XupV-TI

Album Rating: 4.5

They are pretty funny and more-of-the-same, their usual style. Lots of creatures and nakedness and horror vibes. At least that's what I thought.

Album Rating: 4.2

Here's my ranking at the moment. The top 4 tracks are absolute bangers.



Crawling King Chaos

The Dying of the Embers

Necromantic Fantasies

Black Smoke Curling from the Lips of War

How Many Tears to Nurture a Rose?

Us, Dark, Invincible

Existential Terror

Suffer Our Dominion

Discourse Between a Man and His Soul



The bonus tracks are also nice.

Album Rating: 3.0

Black Smoke Curling for me

Album Rating: 4.0

Rose has been stuck in my head recently, definitely a highlight.

Album Rating: 4.2

There are a number of songs that stuck in my head for days. The album is super catchy.

Hawks was the first ever rating for this album, gave it a 5, who would have guessed.

Album Rating: 3.5

...and then he didn't turn up for the official opening! Disappointing.
