Album Rating: 3.0

The cover art isn't as good as their previous albums, so naturally, this one scores lower.

them's the rules

Album Rating: 3.0

I too am a firm believer that the visual aspect of an album plays a fairly significant role in its overall quality as a package.

that summary a+

Loving their debut right now

Band and album title remind me of a Periphery cover band but there's no way that kind of thing exists.

Album Rating: 3.0

A Periphery cover band existing would warrant sputnik adding a 0/5 to their rating rubric.

Band has a knack for writing killer into tracks. “Natus Eclipsim” and “The Purging Fire” are both ridiculously good

Album Rating: 2.5

Album is kinda boring at times but not terrible. Bit of a step down from their last two. Lyrics to No Place Here are still embarrassing lol

Album Rating: 4.0

I think this is great personally.



It reminds me of older Swedish melodic death back when it was just after the minds I by dark tranquillity. And some old doom like October tide. Mixed with some nice aggressive black metal parts.



It's definitely pushing some buttons for me that I really like!



Haven't heard their earlier stuff. Will definitely have to check that out.

I'm surprised at how much I'm digging this. They've definitely added some more melodeath to their repertoire and imo gotten even better in the vocal department. those barks are fucking scathing as hell.

Definitely seems to suffer a bit from tracks bleeding together but otherwise I'm digging it.

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm inclined to side with AndrewHM and Dedes, I've not come across this band before but I'm really digging this melodeath/black metal hybrid they've got going on. Even the nearly 14 minute epics 'No Place Here' & 'Between Two Worlds' kept me interested all the way through, although I definitely wouldn't mind if the last 4 minutes were cut out of the former. Nice, but by no means critical to the album in any way.



I'm a little puzzled as to why the song lengths are so long, as the style they're going for would benefit from shorter, sharper tunes, at least in my mind. I don't think they're as proggy as they think they are, but it seems to work and I've not heard their earlier stuff (yet - from the comments it's a bit more black metal, but I'm still very intrigued).



Anyway, great album. If any of the 'it's been done before but better' crowd wanna drop some recs, it would be much appreciated as this slaps.

Still diggin' the fuck out of this.

Chrono.discog.run.End.
review & rating average are not encouraging.
Is the vocals less out of phase, here?

good live band

gotta admit i was pretty bored by these dudes opening for possessed

What the hell is wrong with the production/mastering of the new one? Can't hear the drums, gimme more drums!

Also when did Evok became Orb, and why no one told me!?

fenriz fact #1 drum sound very important!
