Okay update after reading that quote from before holy fuck am I hyped for the new one. How the fuck are they topping Lights on the hill and Dark city.

I was thinking he’d guest with clean vocals, or even spoken word, but I’d love to hear his harsh vocals doubled up with Johannes’. I’m just hoping here really with both of those guesses, but I’m also basing it off some of their social media interactions.

Either way it would be pretty damn great. Maybe they will grab Jonas or Mikael(if he does features anymore) for swedish powerhouse features

The new track is superb, as is the video. I’m curious about the game which is accompanying this release.

Edit: Colin Stetson and Mariam Wallentin (recently did vocals for Raised By Wolves’ main theme) are on the album, too, as well as members of Phoenix.

This post is very wholesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CXTEg1wojPu/

The guy who drummed on their very first release also posted himself drumming along to ‘The Revelation Embodied’ the other week, which was a nice touch given it’s 20 years old now.

Can confirm the vinyl pressing sounds like a stick of hot butter melting out of my speakers. My phono box, unfortunately, doesn't pump the mids as hard as I'd like, but nonetheless, this thing is whisper quiet (and I mean whisper quiet)... honestly some the lowest surface noise I've ever heard on a metal vinyl. Simply wondrous pressing. Smooth and sexy.

Blows Verikal out of the water so hard it becomes horizontal.

Hoping for a hype train of biblical proportions for the new one, I'm not even concerned about expectations at this stage. THEY WILL DELIVER.

Preferring the new one too so far, might be their best since SATH tbh

Need more time with it obvs, but it addresses most of the issues I had with this one's dull qualities and doesn't autopilot like the first half of the RR. Very strong finish too

Don't go too crazy given that I vibe this as solid but overly safe, while EK and Vertikal are inconsistent, but yeah. Defs don't see it disappointing anyone at least

'Preferring the new one too so far, might be their best since SATH tbh'

I'm not entirely sure of what to make of this coming from you, but you do appear to be quite complementary of these guys generally, at least if we're talking raw numbers. I guess the contrarian within can never resist a little dig or three.

Full current ranking (for perspective) please Johnny.
