"when a band I like makes the same album a zillion times they're impressively consistent



when a band I don't like does it, those guys are running out of ideas fast



when a band I like makes a different album every time, they are eternally creative



when a band I don't like does it, damn those guys are just throwing shit at all to see what sticks"



Well done, human nature at its core.

my comment was less about wanting a literal replica of 'Starspawn' and more about simply wanting to hear Blood Incantation, not Blood Incantation covering 'Animals'.

tho it was ambiguous.

also, what Demon said [2]

“When a band i like/when a band i don’t like…”

Unimpeachable logic

Album Rating: 4.5

“When a band i like/when a band i don’t like…”

eh I don't care about bands I don't like so half of this is not applicable lol

"when a band I like makes the same album a zillion times they're impressively consistent"

Nah I only listen to the old stuff, like Amon Amarth. Wouldn't bother with anything after Surtur

"when a band I like makes a different album every time, they are eternally creative"

this is inherently true so yes 100%

25/100

lol my rather silly comment is being dissected, I was half-expecting this to be the case

Unimpeachable is such a good word. Strong, nice oomph. Need to consciously start using this in my everyday vocab more often.

"after the first minute it goes from morbid angel riffs and just hard-cuts to clean guitar and then turns into prog" (2)

and yeah this is what I don't vibe with. Individual sections have elements of enjoyment contained within (so I like it) but when they transition so abruptly, it loses me (for clarity, I do not like this).

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah, I don't generally find abrupt changes to be great song writing, there's obviously a time and place for them, but they are overly abused on this and don't fall into the latter category so much. That's my biggest gripe with this, but other elements make up for it so overall I do enjoy this album a lot.

i just think of soft, fuzzy peaches. and bums

unimpeachable? someone who would not be placated by the gift of a peach, and/or has no ass, and thus in both cases cannot be said to possess a peach, or be peachy

if that well known plumber was “unimpeachable” then a lot of people would’ve had very different childhoods

you think Mario ever sucked her toes?

I had that same issue with the abrupt changes and do not anymore, it just faded away with repeat listens…considering the complete difference in tone between death metal and prog rock i think the changes are actually pretty well done and fluid

Album Rating: 4.5

I think inter arma does a better job with incorporating the Pink Floyd influence more smoothly but I think these guys overall did a good job. The first track is a bit more wonky structurally with the “death metal part ok now synth part” but the second track fucking rules

I’d think it‘s quite a bit easier to incorporate Floyd influence when the operative genre is doom/post metal rather than death metal

That’s cool tho i will have to peep that inter arma release. Never did get terribly into their music

Album Rating: 4.5

New one is not one of their best tbh, but it’s still good

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Nice call on Inter Arma botb

Def check Paradise Gallows and the cave, normaloct. They could almost have an lp full of Floyd influence tracks by now eheh.



Anyway, as a sludge band everything comes rougher there. This is impecable and clean in a good way, still organic fs.



I agree the transitions get fluid with listens since all sections kind of comunicate between them.

That's a fair take if it isn't working for you. But "overly abused" can also mean in a more generous idiom deliberate songwriting choice, and I think they make it work extremely well. Each song shifts significantly every 2-4 minutes, and the shifts were obviously planned as they work within the overall trajectory of each of the 2 long tracks. A bit... Yes-like. And that's high praise.
