This band has always lacked riffs in favor of atmosphere and overall grandiosity so I can certainly understand the points you are making in your review. The substance seems to come from a compositional standpoint rather than an instrumental approach if that makes sense, the addition of those synths and symphonic elements are where they choose to focus their efforts, and I can't fault you if that's just not your cup of tea especially when incorporated into tech death stuff which traditionally has mostly highlighted guitar and drum technicality.
I've seen them live a couple times and I found that space to really compliment their music the best rather than album recordings, which I still do enjoy because I can be a sucker for the highs of symphonic based music.
Pos'd regardless, enjoyed reading your thoughts!

That 100% makes sense bro. And thats my thing with this band. I have always loved synths in metal but these guys make it so hollow and boring imo. But I def see your points! Thanks for the pos my man! :]

An entertaining review indeed. At first I thought that the rating was very harsh. But then I listened to Morphine Waltz and it was a completely unpleasant listen. Too many elements thrown in, nothing can breathe, lack of melody and everything is just overwhelming. Maybe I am too old for that, who knows.

True lmao.

Huh. I agree this band is overall pretty meh, but I thought this was their best since their debut. Definitely not amazing or very forward-thinking, but also definitely not “irredeemable”. Solid 3/5.

feels weird agreeing with Hawks but yeah pretty much

Yeah I'm not going to go to bat for this band but this was fine. I remember bobbing my head a few times! But yeah the bad production is a little embarrassing at this point. I think the biggest problem is they have such a stranglehold in symphonic death metal, which is a neat microgenre, but nobody really does it. I'd definitely like them less if there was more competition out there.

I mean I love symphonic bm for the most part so you'd think this might do it for me but this shit just ain't it lol.

yeah this is one of those bands that I saw get pretty big but never really understood the appeal. Didn't know it was this bad though.

It's not that bad imo but some critique here does hold merit. They're sloppy for sure and the growls and production have always been mid. They just occasionally stumble into some songs that are pretty good imo. I think if they cleaned up some tracks from their post-mafia albums and made a compilation it'd be pretty good but they don't have that kind of quality control.

that sounds completely on point

They've had worse. I can also adjust to bad production in most cases in a single song. idk I want to really like them but they can only get satisfactory at best. And I didn't dislike this, so yay for them? I've been chasing the high of Fist in Fetus ever since I heard them but nobody wants to pony up, including them.

I remember jamming Agony back in the day and having semi-high hopes for them, but they just fell off
