I think it might be impossible not to "get" this one. Most in-your-face, no-nonsense, straight up brawl of an album I've heard in years.

Sounds like it might be up my alley. I always start their albums really digging them but they wind up losing me about 2/3 of the way through.
I want to like these guys, they sound amazing on paper (and a lot of the time on record too) but something just hasn't fully clicked for me yet. Anyway putting this on now

Love how straightforward this is, just pure crushing heaviness

I find it funny that all of my favorite albums so far this year have been really technical or melodic (or both) and just kind of…fancy.



Then this comes along like, fuck all that, how bout I just smash you nutsack with this riff here and then do that for 48 minutes straight.

To be fair, Thou clicked with me immediately. Can see how they might be a grower band for some but loved them immediately starting with Magus onwards.

Listened to this a few times this weekend and I’m so impressed overall. I skipped the singles as they came out and initially put this in in the car but wasn’t feeling it s I waited until I knew I could hear it all with more attention which was the right call. What an absolute gem to add in with their other LP’s. Really wish I’d pulled the trigger on the preorder lol.

Just finished my third spin to make sure the second half holds up to the first half. And yes. Yes it does.



The overall flow and structure of each song and the album as a whole is basically perfect. Vocals are amazing too.



Yeah, dis my AOTY to beat now. Alcest will probably win ultimately cause I'm a total fanboy and they have my favorite sound in all of metal but Ulcerate has their work cut out for them to top this.

still gotta warmup to this. I loved Myopia so much and I was hoping they’d make more stuff in that direction

I suspect it will be in many AOTY lists and possibly hard to beat

I'll be surprised if anything tops this for me this year. New Ulcerate has a shot, but idk what else in the pipeline could do it
