That's where I disagree. I love this because it riffs so much harder than the previous two lol.

It riffed harder than the previous one but there's just too much atmospheric chord progressions going on for my liking. Some more tremolo riffing/classsic melodeath riffs would fit excellent here but they're just not interested in it I guess.

Keyboards and drums on this record are such an upgrade from Woe. Stellar album.

I checked this out on a whim with no real idea or expectations of this bands music and holy shit this album is ridiculously FUN to listen to. There were sections that I could almost just visualize in my head that I was traveling through a cosmic abyss.

This is mostly bloated and not that good. My issue is with the guitar work being quite dull.. If you want some actual riffs, listen to extol

Definitely an improvement on their last album but I still don’t get the hype behind these guys.

I feel like they went for the same musical build up thing that IOTUNN does on their albums, but just didn’t execute nearly as well.

Iotunn's first album is amazing, but their newest one did nothing for me tbh.

I liked their last a lot but I have to be in a specific mood to jam any of their stuff.

I gave this a few spins but sadly it’s just not clicking for me

I get it. The two albums prior to this are super boring imo.

An abastract illusion presents: Castle purple pussy careful the clit could fall off and kill you

They say any holes a goal but are you ready for an entire castle? Are you death metal enough

I'd say check out the opener Blackmurmur - if you don't vibe with that you probably won't enjoy the rest
