And yeah Sowing if you're a fan of Opeth and Agalloch then Enslaved would be right up your alley.

(For real though this band would probably be a relatively accessible metal band for me if such a one exists.)

Album Rating: 2.0

Listen to Blood and Thunder & Oblivion and decide from there

Sowing have you tried the new Fen album? that's got some seriously good songwriting if you're into bands whose songs are "movements" a la Opeth

Album Rating: 2.0

new fen is good yeah

Listened to a couple songs... Hated the vocalist, instrumentals were ok though. Surprisingly poppy.

Album Rating: 2.0

Pretty much what I expected. Could be something to get used to?

Yeah probably not, I don't feel like I'm missing much tbh.

meh production, kinda flat guitars and drums. songs are good though, Roots Remain and Word to the Wise in particular

To me this is the perfect balance between the streamlined sound of the last 2 and the more technical sound of their 2000s albums. Really digging it.

Album Rating: 4.0

Completely agree tuna, the past two records seemed to be very mainstream rock records, fun guitar licks but not much of an atmosphere or layered sound. This is atmospheric as hell, probably the most since Crack the Skye.

I think the word you're looking for is "compromise"

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Compromise or just hitting the sweet spot. Either way this is another quality album from one of the most consistent bands in metal today.

Album Rating: 4.0

Eh compromise insinuates they had to sacrifice or give something up to achieve this, and I don't really think that's the case.

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

"compromise" insinuates that they shouldn't be touching streamlined pop with a ten-foot pole, but if they're tired of making music with any real punch to it, then this will do.
