3.5 greatChino smoking it up! | August 11th 20

Excellent production, great vibe, practically all songs drag a bit too long though. Debut varies way more in less runtime. Fave track here: Urge.

0.0 Your own inadequacies have twisted your mind into a pretzel that needs a bit of salt. | July 30th 20

Innovative or not, groundbreaking or not, Gaerea deserve praise for the phenomenal execution on this album. They steer the listener through an intimidating tracklist bookended by two monsters, weaving in cascades of emotive peaks and valleys. Death/black fusion can be so samey sounding, and it's refreshing that Limbo succeed in interlocking these two genres so well. What's holding this album up from true greatness? Those claims of derivativeness/hero worship do carry weight, unfortunately, but that doesn't stop Limbo from being a whopper of a listen. I'd give this a 4.2 if I could. rEDIT: This has grown on me. Bumping to a 4.5.

2.5 averageangelofbland | July 25th 20

Lots of songwriting issues, parts sound disjointed and boring. Also, there is nothing new here, a DSO version of Behemoth without the good parts of the two bands

2.5 averageGary STAFF | July 24th 20

"Gaerea challenges the archetype of black metal" Pffff, my ass. Just throwing some post-metal into their sound doesn't revolutionize anything. This album is a simply boring and forgettable.
