Definitely Akercocke's proggiest work yet. It's outstanding how different this sounds to anything on Antichrist.

It's an an excellent album, the only thing really holding it back from being a 5 to me is that ultra wimpy/thin lead guitar tone on the "heavier" parts. It sounds like a thrash tone from the 80's when it could've really benefitted from having some more punch and low-end behind it.

Totally agree, Jason. It annoys me slightly. When's the remaster coming out?



Besides that I like it better than Choronzon and Antichrist, but it isn't Words level.

I think this is their best release yet. It isn't perfect but it is just as good as Words if not better imo.

It's Words level. I won't say it's better but it's at least on the same level for me.

I missed those on my first listens.



Yodeling is underused in metal.

It's definitely close to Words level, might even be my AOTY right now.

TheNotrap you have Burzum's Filosofem as a 1 and Wintersun's The Forest seasons as a 4.5... explain yourself.
