Given how shit this band’s last album was, I’m very apprehensive about the exorbitant praise being sloshed upon this one. Hmmmmmmm

Seeing someone in this thread say the riffs and drums are pretty weak then slap a 4 because they love everything else really does a number on my dumb old brain, given riffs and drums tend to be pretty important in heavy metal musics kinda

yeh i agree focus is much better sounding

tbh i think this album just isn't very fun. the tempos feel a bit too slow and aren't that dynamic, the riffs are boring and underdeveloped, the drums suck, the clean stuff is cool but can't carry the rest. their first album i feel was a lot better cus it had a decent riff factor and some cool atmospheric moments. here i think too much time was spent spicing up the clean sections and not enough on the bulk of the songs.

to be fair focus is much better sounding than almost everything ever so

i totally disagree lmao. the junz suck and all the heavy sections highlight the terrible pumpy mastering. most of the actual riffs are okay but with progressive/technical death metal that's really not enough to make it far past mediocre. altogether i think it feels too sluggish.



in terms of albums which i think have a similar kind of end goal and atmopheric focus I think Virvum - Illuminance is a lot better, faster, tighter, more entertaining. Last year's Decrepit Birth as well. Fallujah - Nomadic is also a pretty apt comparison and that album is better too
