still jamming this but initial impression is yes it rules but they have sacrificed some of the violent/physical element of the music in favor of going all in on the speed gimmick. also the drumming is def a step down (still good) which for this style is noticeable. still a super fun blend of brutality, speed and melody tho

Album fucks so far, as expected.

"i like this, but the mad vocal work becomes a little annoying towards the end."



yea this. I get that their schtick is the whole band is fast, but it just gets tedious



album is sick, red goliath is a monster track

I couldn't stand the vocals when I first checked this band out, but I've grown to be more okay with them. I appreciate they are different and unique, and I think they are very fitting for Archspire's music.

yeah shart the last drummer is a legend. the new guy definitely won't replace him fully but I hope he flexes more of his chops next go 'round.

Riiiiiips

On first listen I think this is not quite as good as BTF but it's very close.

Cool album, compared to their previous 2 i don't feel the novel and innovatory spirit

it just makes me smile and headbang. a perfect combo

nailed it there. rare combo of fun, easy listening and challenging at the same time. easy to keep going back and then finding new things.
