Really hard to pick a favorite for me. I could probably narrow it down to nostalgia, la vie est prelude and the art of sombre ecstacy. Literally not a song on this album thats not awesome tho

This was the first Gorguts album I ever heard. I discovered it on some metal forum where people where debating whether or not this album sucked. It was duch a fascinating discussing reading people discuss the album that I went out and bought it.



It definitely does not suck.

Yeah, some people might prefer standard death metal to this. I for sure think this is death metal at the highest potential of the artform, though. Like what modernist composers were doing for classical music at the turn of the 20th century. Just breaking it to pieces.

Is it possible to listen to this too much and to get burnt out

Good to know. I didn't realise until a friend pointed out to me what this album cover actually was.

I seen it as like a monster lookin' dude with corpse paint and 4 arms, crossing them.

Turns out its just an old yoga guy...

I always thought of it as dude/monk that's sort of learned and meditated til he became a higher being. I like how the lyrics on here resent the human form and complain about how this frail body/human experience is limited. I feel something similar to that most days.

Woah, didn’t realise the cover represented something so deep. This revelation is making me want to bump my rating. Oh wait...



Nice streak of 5s anyway.

That's just what you want to see. The cover is a Rorschach test.

Yeah i still see corpse paint man with a bunch of arms.

@egar do you think that's intentional?

Perhaps. Just looking at a search, people see anything from a nintendo 64 cover to a guy holding up a pig. I'm sure it says something profound about their spirituality.
