Still liking this. This was definitely a surprise. The cover had me expecting low-quality, generic cheese.

Basically, this kind of covers correspond to death metal bands too.



It will be really awesome in the vinyl format, with all that detail and stuff.

Voivod, you really need to start listening to Slough Feg right now!!!

Excellent review and I will most likely give this a go.

Slough Feg are really good. Also, Dawnbringer and Grand Magus.

@Wizard



I have Slough Feg on my "to-listen-to" list for sure.





@greg84



The first Argus album reminds me of the first Grand Magus album, not because they are similar in style, but because both bands were in search of their own sound at the time.



As for Dawnbringer, I know them by name but unfortunately I haven't heard anything from them *too-many-bands-too-little-time*

Wish I could find a stream for this one, the two tracks that are posted are solid.

That bandcamp link in my introductory post will eventually become a full album stream and frankly I don't know why the label doesn't stream the rest of the album.

I hate it when bands that are relatively unknown are stingy with putting their music out to be heard. How else are they going to gain exposure if they are only going to allow one or two songs to represent them?



That Mindcage band was like that. I offered to stream one or two new tracks to correspond with my review (since no one would have heard of them, obviously) but they would only allow the one song that had already been posted for weeks.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone; and, we greatly appreciate the review Voivod! There is a
complete stream of the album at Zero Tolerance zine website. Not sure how long it will remain up
though.

Thanks Erik, all I did was putting the album into words as adequately as possible.



Thanks for the stream too, it's impossible to track everything in the vast ocean of the net so my two cents are that there is this album stream aggregator site called albumstreams.com. I submitted your stream there, and hopefully more people will get to listen to it with the course of time.

Fourth paragraph, third line, should be "have" instead of "has". Solid review man, if the stream is still up I may give this a go.

Thanks for the eagle eyes Magnus, fixed.



Last time I checked (today), the stream from Zero Tolerance is active, no worries though, as i think that once that stream is down the bandcamp link will be up.
