4.5 superb | slaythedragon | August 12th 13 | Their best album yet. It's like Agony but it strikes a better balance between symphony and metal. The production is also much better; the drums and symphony aren't as overpowering, and the guitars are a lot louder and more technical like in Oracles. The album is still heavy as fuck but Epilogue and Under Black Sails showcase some cool experimentation. I also appreciate the fact that there's much less clean vocals on this album. They use an opera singer in a few tracks (probably just under half) and though it's a little offputting at first, actually you get used to it and particularly at the end of Towards the Sun, it works really well. I am very happy with this album, well worth the wait.

3.5 great | Robert Garland STAFF | July 26th 13 | The technicality's still here, the pace is maintained and the symphonic is as prominent as ever. It's not perfect, this combination will always clash heads but it seems that Fleshgod Apocalypse are finally putting the two together in a manageable and interesting form. The album does what it needs to and well, but the almost fifty-five minutes of symphonic cliches tied over a melodic tech-death instrumental effort does tire the listener. It's got room to grow, just not a lot.

2.0 poor | ZippaThaRippa | August 13th 13 | I love that part in that one song where the guitarists lazily tremolo pick some notes and the bassist yells something unintelligible in falsetto.

2.5 average | Mister Twister | June 23rd 13 | The first album was mostly tech-death with shoehorned symphonic elements. The second album was symphonic death metal, but the tech-death elements were notably less. Hopefully, this finds a balanced medium between the two which can make fans of either album happy.

3.0 good | TonyOlive | October 11th 15 | I wish the drums were not in the front of the mix. This is coming from a drummer, too, so you know it's bad. The guitars are way too low in the mix, as well.

0.0 | DarknessPrevails | May 6th 14 | A very epic release that combines technicality with symphonic elements to create a superb metal opera.

2.5 average | ReAnimator | February 24th 14 | A major step down in composition and production, "Labyrinth" lacks the energy, verve, and risk of "Agony."
