Great album, I really like the crossover aesthetic by which Decapitated play extreme metal. The album lacks of truly memorable moments in terms of the actual music, but the thing that really stays in mind here and gives the album a solid replay value, is the previously mentioned crossover aesthetic, found for the most part in hardcore/thrash outfits.

Not earth-shakingly bad, just not particularly interesting to listen to. This album is a mixture of average tracks and really bad ones, making it very inconsistent as well.

Excellent effort from Polish technical death metal legends. This album has what the previous one was somewhat missing. New drummer does a decent job, Rasta has strenghtened his vocals, Vogg is fully back in form we haven't observed since OH. Can't wait to hear new material live! New album is smashing. An absolute masterpiece. Definitely best death metal record of 2014. Hail Decapitated!

I can't stand the previous album, but I love first and third one. I was expecting another 'typical death metal' album, but 'Blood Mantra' is a nice step up. Love it.

I might give this a higher rating if it were a different band, but this is Decapitated. The guys who changed Tech-Death, and I cannot look away from that. Conpared to those first four, and especially first two records this is truly saddening. No more technical riffing or drumming, just groove oriented aggressive Death Metal riffing with pretty bad vocals.

Absolute steaming fucking fecal matter. Great if you love proggy nu-djent, but now a horrible mockery of one of the greatest Polish death metal bands of all time. It's a goddamn shame the entire band didn't die in that bus accident and spare us this auditory cancer.

Better than the previous album, still not something special. They have completely lost their unique death metal identity. My favorite songs here are "Veins" and "Nest"...RIP DECAPITATED (1996-2006)

Besides a few select tracks(exiled in flesh, blasphemous psalm, veins) this is decaps worst offering, plus the new drummer lacks the creativity that both vitek and krimh had.

I'm convinced that Vogg paired up with Fredrik on this record, the Meshuggah influence is undeniable.
