Basically a death sentence to their own identity. There is nothing left of their earth-shattering brutality as well as their creative songwriting back in the Heartsounds- and Salvation-days. As hinted on the terrible What Defines You already and cranking this sonical choice up to one hundred, Of Virtue has gone full sellout now. Mainstream to appeal to the masses. Poppy choruses wherever you look, way less growls, way less heavy riffing, way fewer breakdowns, no more progressiveness, softer production...the list goes on and on. What you have to give them credit for is two things though. Firstly, they are still capable of writing absolute bangers that never leave your ear, even weeks after the first listen. And secondly, at least they're consistent in their new style and follow it through to the very end. The entirety of Omen sounds so consistent, you can skip from song two to song seven and know immediately that this is the same record, which is a positive in my opinion. The producer did a good job to at least give their new self a coherent style. Therefore I am changing my rating from a 2 to a 3. They found their niche and people who enjoy this kind of music, for instance fans of new Of Mice and Men, Dayshell, and the like, will most probably very much dig this.

Damn, this is ass. Weak delivery, poor musicianship, uninspired for the most part. Just listen to Resolve instead if you kinda dig their new sound.
