Betraying the fact that as apocalyptic and monolithic as Ulcerate are, this is wildly uncharismatic music

“ "unlike this which feels truly unique"... okay, maybe not this bit”

Name me a single album from a band other than Ulcerate that sounds like this

Tyrant is amazing but idk there's just something about heathen and magus



Thou is such a great band

"Immorality Dictates" is prob my favorite Thou song so it gets Heathen big points

"Name me a single album from a band other than Ulcerate that sounds like this"

I feel like this is moving the goalposts because the whole point is this ALBUM is not unique, not the BAND

Refining one's formula instead of reinventing is not inherently a negative tho and I feel like we've been here before / are going around in circles now

Album Rating: 4.5

Pretty soon we'll all be going in circles, grabbing each others' wieners and just be jerks

like an Ulcerate circle of jerks

This album feels like it was written by an AI with Stare as a template

Okay but no it doesn't

Album Rating: 2.5

To me it just sounds plodding, predictable and soulless. As if people didn't even write it. That may have been their intention, but I don't think this album has the ambition or raw ferocity that made albums like EIF and TDoA so great.

@Row I think this is plenty ambitious, are you implying that ferocity is the only mood worth pursuing in death metal? Also, calling St. Merat's performance here soulless is, I think, remarkably harsh and unfair. So much of the guitar work is about setting an apocalyptic mood that the drumming can explore, I found the "plodding" sections most interesting here over the ferocious bits, simply because of how creatively St. Merat fills empty space.
