"Just picked this up on vinyl in my local record store for 5 pounds, been on a bodom binge recently but havent heard anything since bloodrunk (which was awful) so somewhat apprehensive about this. But i thought for a fiver its worth a look"

mostly listen to their old stuff for nostalgia but I remember this being decent enough

You'll prob recognize a Dissection riff somewhere along the way

had a run through but was only half listening as i was pretty much wrestling around my front room with little girl and our dog while it was on haha. Sounded alright, even the half listen sounded better than bloodrunk.

Yeah Blooddrunk was definitely their low point. The album that came after it was a slight improvement and this is an improvement on that

Blooddrunk and Relentless Reckless Forever both suck, but this is awesome.

It sucks that the Amorphis cover is easily the best thing they have done in at least 10 years. They would be so better suited to playing this kind of music. Janne's solo at 1:48 is so goddamn good.

The cover of "Everytime I Die" done by Amorphis is great, too. Not so sure about the new CoB album yet from the snippets we have.

The last 2 songs sound like they could be great from the track-by-tracks. None of the ones they have released so far have done much for me so hopefully the rest of the songs are a bit better.

Yeah, the actual singles are kinda worrying, but some of the teasers from the track-by-track interviews seemed appealing.

They should really make more songs like All Twisted. Great FTR/HCD hybrid sound.
