I love the review except for this:



Good on Eric Wunder for parting ways with that juvenile ***lord vocalist, Phil McSorely. On top of his childish and embarrassing interviews, the guy was kind of garbage. Slinging misogynistic and homophobic rhetoric isn't okay in metal in 2016 (nor was it ever) so it's refreshing to see it dealt with so effectively and to such praise. Despite the themes and acerbic hatred spewing forth from the lyrics, Phil McSorely was never the true creative ingenue (even though he was technically the band's founder.) No, Cobalt was always Wunder's baby, really. Now, seven years later that baby has outgrown Wunder considerably, forcing him to change the band into something all together different.



This is unnecessary and not factual (unless you've talked to Wunder personally on why McSorely left. I read an interview a while back in Decibel with Wunder and let me just say war is a bitch and can fuck up even the toughest of men). Let's all stop being so damn PC and concentrate on the music. And this album is fucking awesome.

Probably Cobalt's best work ever, even better than Gin.

A solid 4 seems about right for this. The production is on point, and there's a nice crusty vibe going on

This has some really good parts but alot of the time it barely sounds black metal, some of the riffs sound like they belong in a rival party thrash song.

I mean yeah there's little black metal, but they're going for a more sludge metal sound on a lot of these tracks.

I can not get into The Body just from the vocal style they use. It drives me nuts

"I can not get into The Body just from the vocal style they use. It drives me nuts"



its definitely a breed of its own, although its nothing that sounds good, because no one wants to hear a scream yelled through a stinky flat ass, the instrumentation is good off no one deserves happiness. Their vocalist has aids so just understand the band's differences.

Also, I don't know if the reviewer took the time to read the interview that accompanied the stream (I hope he did) but Erik sort of addressed this there and makes the inclusion of that paragraph seem all the more unnecessary and grasping at controversy.

He didn't even bother to run his review through a word processor to check for typos I highly doubt he went above and beyond to do background research

"background research" probably equals something to the effect of heard it from a dude at a show once

I don't expect him to look up a band bio or anything but c'mon it was RIGHT THERE on the pitchfork stream page.

"Could all this text around the stream possibly have any info relevant to my review?




...NAH"

you might be making a leap by assuming he ever opened the pitchfork stream
