FadeToBlack2, it's a "I don't normally listen to DEATH metal but..." metal band get it right bro.
Also 1ing this to oppose "hipsters" is pretty hipster. Just sayin'.

The quintessential flavour of the week "I don't normally listen to metal but..." metal band. Hipster trash that will be forgotten by the end of the year.

About even with Starspawn. I think Starspawn feels more complete and cohesive, but the actual instrumentation on this record is mostly more engaging. Virtually the only band on the planet where I actually want longer albums.

Following the second riff, is a guitar solo, YES A BLOOD INCANTATION GUITAR SOLO. Following the speedy solo is a repetition of the intro riff, a very proggy move by Blood Incantation.

I would put this a tad lower than Starspawn. The musicianship is awesome, and some riffs/solis are making me lose my shit every time I hear them. However, I am feeling underwhelmed by the album in its entirety. Some parts were heard 100 times before that album, and I can't help but wait for the "traditional" parts to finish so I could hear these epic moments. I am still waiting for their genre-defining record because I'm sure they have it in them. It's not this one though.

By albums end and after many repeat listens, I am still wholly impressed by this group of musicians ability to consistently create engaging, tasteful, inventive and even emotive music. Music that evokes a sense of something greater beyond the limitations of humanity and inspires imaginative imagery of kaleidoscopic alien dimensions.

It leaked, i listened. How could you not? Starspawn is a modern death metal masterpiece and HHotHR
is an absolute monster of a follow up, will definitely buy when its officially released.

I can't *pbbt* understand *pbbt* your accent *pbbt*. Not bad by any stretch, but gets a bit up it's own ass with how much time is dedicated to building atmosphere. At it's best when it's focusing solely on getting you to bang your head.

I agree with my dexbro: they have a magnum opus in them, but this isn't it yet. I do think it is a step in the right direction though. Starspawn is imo an objectively better and more consistent record, but this one shows a lot more of their unique sound and is just more interesting on the whole. The first two tracks feel like your usual BI dm. The bass is nicely mixed, 1 is fat and the conclusion to 2 is fat. But at this point it felt like a downgrade from Starspawn really. Then the band starts to unfold their real potential with the sublime 3, an absolute jam that finally got me to feel space vibes and not Antiquity vibes (lol). It's the kind of grand intro/buildup that makes grand albums. Feels like taking off in an immense spaceship. 4 brings back the dm but mixes in elements similar to 3 and feels like they really found their sound. The intro is superb, min 3 is copiously fat, at min 6 the band goes into tasty dark ambient, before going back to guitars in a superb way. There, sadly, the track looses a bit of steam, going back to more conventional/generic dm, bringing back a bit of the wankery guitars that could be heard on 1. Min 14 on gets especially zzz. But eventually it breaks into a convenu yet nicely executed mix of wind recording and a nice chill melody on the guitar as album outro. The next one might be it. 4.0

The direction and flow of the album as a whole along with the songwriting put this into the upper echelon of death metal albums of 2019. The riffs match those of the best DM albums of 2019 but Blood Incantation have a great way of putting their foot on the gas pedal, giving you a bit of ambiance and then turning things back up. The vision of this album is clear even if you just casually listen to it. It is progressive without trying to use four dimensional song structures or overly whacky chord progressions. The less death metal sections are beautiful (middle of 'The Giza Power Plant' and all of 'Inner Paths...') and shows that this band is capable of producing something on a higher level than their riff focused peers. If anything, the last track is a bit overextended (not quite as bad as it's title though) but it concludes the record well and leaves you waiting for what comes next. A lesson on how to inject progressive elements into a pretty stubborn genre and come away extremely successfully.

This album completely rips, bringing dense atmosphere, speedy epic death metal, and insane, haunting vocals together in a whirlwind of cosmic chaos. Every track has a plethora of truly jaw-dropping moments, but the album suffers a bit from poor pacing and an experiment or two that don't work as well as they could have.
