As someone who hadn't jammed the EP, this is such a welcome and refreshing listen. All the sections with acoustic melodies riding over the distortion like 3-4min into track 1 and the outro of track 2 are so well done, you almost never hear it pulled off this well. Really great balance between the folk and metal too

I liked this more than the EP (although both will get another listen for sure). The production felt better here. I love the sound on this thing because its absolutely gorgeous, but sometimes the melodies (mostly in the first track) just don't click with me. This rating is my minimum, but it very well could grow on me with time.

Heck, i'm already bumping this to a 4. I probably need to fix my rating for the EP after I re-jam it

Well the EP acted more as a demo to this, to get something out there. You get the whole album with the LP as it was intended, a single piece meant to be heard as a whole .

@bgillesp
You have a good ear man, cause the mastering job is different and improved on the LP! Thanks for checking it out and your feedback is really appreciated man!

Yeah, it'll be up on Bandcamp for sure tomorrow Oct. 12th. It's supposed to be streaming on Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, Amazon and iTunes on the 12th as well but I can't guarantee it'll be online for tomorrow on these platforms.

Any album with wooden spoons as a listed instrument has me intrigued

Huh, it's still there for me right now on Spotify but it is Oct. 12th here so probably just because it's release date where I am
