Thanks for the great review. I'm not a big death metal guy, but I really liked Undeceived and this is nearly as good.

Man bloc you do make me laugh!!!!! Anyone saying the riffs are boring clearly must name some bands with more interesting riffs than those found on this completely unique an amazing album.... I really love it especially the more progressive side absolutely amazing in all ways. And as someone who adores undecieved I dis agree with the production qualms. Undceived is just a clean sounding minus the clean vocals but never really have the cleans been layered and used as much during heavy parts. So in my opinion the really add a nice atmosphere to the sound overall.

Groggy it's because it isn't singing the Same vein as the rest, although every Extol album is different that one is so far from the others. You know, lol. But man once you let blueprint sink in its amazing and so glad the three decided to continue in the form of the band

cant say i hear how this and undeceiveds production are similar at all. undeceived had straight up gritty bm production, unless theres a remaster im missing or something



this is the only album of theirs i think is overproduced. it doesnt bother me much hence the 4 but its pretty damn polished for dm

I had high expectations after hearing open the gates, and they topped them quite easily it seems.

I, for one, loved "the blueprint dives". I was a fan of "synergy" before it, but frankly, that Extol became technical for the sake of it, where I thought "blueprint" actually tried to mix that technicality with song-writing. This album is more like "synergy", and as a whole, in my opinion, more a step-back than forward.

@jfromnj It's really not that technical. I actually thought many of the songs are concise and catchy.

This album slays. It has the baritone vibe of Undeceived but also the jazzy/thrashy hooks and time signatures of Synergy, plus clear references to Blueprint and even Burial. The review should have mentioned the Yes influences in the clean vocals on this album, it is so obvious especially in Open the Gates.

I don't necessarily hate choruses, I'm just not really digging the ones on here.

No definitely no djent. It's progressive death metal with hints of black and technical thrash.
