this is actually pretty good, reinventing the wheel no but great nonetheless.

Gonna have to check this out, always had a soft spot for this band. In the shadow of a thousand suns was one of my gateway albums. Also your review has made me really curious about what this sounds like dude.

look this album is okay and all, but i just feel that (like all their albums) they're just shooting blindly into the bm scene and hoping to strike a chord with a fanbase

couldnt have said it better myself

well i don't have any authority in the matter or experience but a lot of the violins to me gave it an almost chinese-like kind of feel
i don't know, it's just how i felt when listening to it :]
Well, it's just a rather silly, outdated term over here (like saying something sounds Western/European), but I get what you mean, especially since it's primarily used to refer to Chinese in the UK, from what I gather.
No more objections, carry on. :]

Yeah this review really deserved it

I decided not to check this out, the one song I heard was not interesting. AT ALL.

This album actually surprised me as well. Maybe they are trend hopping, I didn't know too much about these guys before because I heard a couple tracks and it drove me away, but this is a good sound for them. If they stay on this path, but tweak it into their own, they could be good...but we shall see like you said! Kudos!

I saw these guys a month ago. I had gone to the show for 2 reasons. One, Turbid North was playing also....they kick ass by the way... and two because I thought they may play some shit off of In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns. Well, they didn't. I sat through 3 songs of long drawn out boring shit. This might be something to sit down and listen to while you're doing something else, but to see it live was mind numbing. I have the first 3 Abigail Williams cds and the last one I didn't enjoy. So I really don't think I'll be picking this one up.

Just saying, the whole post-rock tinged black metal is really hard to fuck up, that's why there are so many bands doing it now, and it sounds pretty decent. But like with regular post-rock, once there are a plethora of pretty good bands of the same genre, they all blend together and become mediocre. That's what is happening with this new wave of black metal thingy. At least I think so.

one of the guitarists had an opeth shirt on and just stood there like a statue and stared into the crowed like it was an endless void
lol
congrats on another feature noctus

that's the case with like, literally any genre
and there's nothing really that makes this any harder to 'fuck up' than any other black metal subgenre
@someguest: thank you!! :]
