the mixing was better and more even on vermis

totally a preference thing but i completely disagree
this is warmer, fuller, less brittle
they definitely went to town with the hard limiter but still sounds great

Invest in the LP problem solved
i thought they put the same mix on the LP? could be wrong
edit: it does look as if there's a specific vinyl master (presumably the same mix, though), would be interested to hear that but i really don't have the space or money to buy more LPs right now. i wish they'd just release the more dynamic master instead.
reading more about this vinyl pressing, however, this line amuses me:
"Audiophiles will be pleased to know that Shrines has been mastered specifically for vinyl using 24-bit 44.100 KHz .wav files."
so it's 24-bit audio but with the typical sample rate of 16-bit...? what's the point in that? not that i really care, i'd rather listen to 192 mp3s of a well mastered version of this album than a 24bit 192khz brickwalled verison of it.

Dunno why the CD and vinyl don't just get the same master. Like the band has to know it sounbds different, and they seem like the type of band that would put at least a little bit of thought into that. The previous albums were pretty brickwalled but I could still make everything out, there are moments here where the drums just drown out everything else going on. Especially apparent on Abrogation.

Setentia's 2016 debut i dare say *almost* bests this. Either way, new zealand is churning out some pretty fresh metal these these days.

New Setentia riffs pretty hard yea. NZ dropping Ulcerate, Setentia, and Beastwars this year, country is on a roll.

Setentia rules, but not close to this imo. Never heard of Beastwars gotta check hard.

Album Rating: 4.0
be advised that beastwars is nothing like the other two bands, basically high on fire-esque stoner metal

haven't heard setentia yet, but ad nauseam is the best of the ones that i've heard at the whole ulcerate vibe (although it has a healthy dose of gorguts/etc. as well)
