It’s super goofy but it is indeed fun

A step up from their last one for sure

sent this to my friend who's a recording engineer and his response was "very ironic that this dude's studio is called Flatline Audio because thats exactly what this sounds like" lmao

I've been following this band since their inception and have never been fully happy with their releases, they just sounded like less amusing Dethklok b-sides to me for the most part. This album is exactly what I wanted from them all along. Pure technicality + spicy songwriting and transitions. I want more of this please

Lol why is this band tagged as classical?

Going to guess it's cause of the Lacrimosa motif in Reverie on the Onyx

The "brutality" or "heaviness" of this album is so over the top for me at moments that it just sort of becomes goofy. Really impressive technically and definitely a lot of good moments throughout despite that though.

"Lol why is this band tagged as classical?"

Well believe it or not but the classical music influence is very present in some modern tech death acts such as First Fragment or this. It's way more obvious in FF though. I don't know if I would put the tag here but I can definitely tell they listen to classical music, many melodies are totally classical-esque

Yap, straight up Bach agreed

Another tech-death snoozer

Probably because the site doesn’t have a genre tag for neoclassical metal

Get to see these lads with Decapitated next year, pumped.

it's the most relentless and brutal tech-death out there, all other tech bands go home. Unless you want to prioritize songwriting I guess

'Well believe it or not but the classical music influence is very present in some modern tech death acts such as First Fragment or this. It's way more obvious in FF though.'



yeah tagging these guys as classical is a step too far, but it's definitely a limitation within Sput's genre classifications that it can't be incorporated as an 'influence' or something... there are far worse offenders where that's concerned mind. We don't frequent this place for comprehensive categorisation, lol.



I can see the argument for a classical tag where FF are concerned, if we're comparing.

I also like one guy uses an 8 string guitar and the other uses a 7 string, very unique

split the difference 7.5 each, would sound way better imo and single-handedly counter-balance any production issues that may or not exist here (they do be existing).

I think the album sounds fine for what it is. The songs need that super tight, punchy, and gated sound to get the aesthetic across.

"The "brutality" or "heaviness" of this album is so over the top for me at moments that it just sort of becomes goofy."

Couldn't agree more man. That doesn't impede upon my enjoyment of it, but it does make me laugh at times. It almost feels like metal made by people who hate the genre so much that they set out to make a parody of it and I love it.
