Arcturus. Solefald, and Sigh all do this much better.

sigh is horrendous



solefald doesnt quite do this exactly



arcturus has one incredible record and the rest are pretty lame



this is a solid 4-4.5 especially for the genre itself

Sigh's past two albums kick the shit out of this, especially Hangman's Hymn.

Solefald is very similar to this, not exact, but close enough.

Every Arcturus album except the most recent one also kick the shit out of this.

If you're asking if any of them have female vocals, Solefald and Arcturus don't that I can remember and Sigh uses a little bit.

**Opionion Alert**



Arcturus absolutely do not kick the shit out of this. Sham Mirrors was about on the level as In a

Flesh Aquarium but this is significantly further ahead of Sham.

Yes, Arcturus' first three albums demolish this in every way.

Yeah this is a little better than Sham Mirrors. Solefald never did anything for me. Sigh is atrocious.

Sigh is hit or miss. They're not amazing, but what I've heard from them is better than this for sure.

Can we all agree that weird bands rule and call it a night?

Sigh's vocals really aren't that bad at all.

And I don't think this is all that fun. Kinda bores me tbh and it's pretty sloppy.

from a musicians standpoint, and as one who has studied composition, i can promise you this isnt sloppy. a few transitions here and there are a bit awkward thats about it in that whole department.

I agree with this, I feel as if the tone of the album is relatively serious and it does a good job of

coming off as so. But it doesn't detract from the overall quality in the slightest for me at least.

ChaotH's playing is anything but sloppy.

yeah i see a lot of ignorant idiots (not pointing you out at all hawks) calling disjointed metal stuff like this 'sloppy' or "incoherent" when it really isnt.

Well I listen to, and really like, stuff like this, so I'm not in that category. This just doesn't do too much for me.

This is just so much to take in at once. I love the first few songs but then it feels like I got through eating 20 pounds of chocolate cake.

Take breaks in between until you familiarize yourself with the album and then come back to it. I know you could love this Yazz.
