5.0 classic
A Wilhelm Scream Career Suicide
Alcest Écailles De Lune
Alcest Kodama
Alcest are utterly peerless in this form, a relentlessly awesome album. Im strongly rconvinced Oiseaux De Proieis is the best thing they have ever written. Perfect song.

4.0 excellent
Aesmah Walking Off The Horizon
Aetherian The Untamed Wilderness
Excellent debut, definitely darker in tone compared to their EP but still
retains the great melodic riffage. A welcome new addition to the genre and a
band I will certainly be keeping my eye on.

Currents I Let the Devil In
Currents All That Follows
This is really good. They do EP's extremely well it would seem, maybe its the more focused nature of an EP that's brings the best out of the band. This and 'I Let The Devil In' stand as the band's best work.
Disarmonia Mundi Fragments Of D-Generation
Duskmourn Of Shadow and Flame
Enshine Singularity
In Flames The Jester Race
In Mourning The Immortal
Really strong showing by these guys. Their
best since Weight of Oceans for me, full of
riffs, atmosphere and the cleans are
absolutely exquisite

A band unabashedly wearing their influences on their sleeves, it's arguably a stronger listen than some of the bands they are trying to emulate.

3.0 good
A Wilhelm Scream Lose Your Delusion
Mild disappointment. More emphasis on fun than shred. Some great tracks sprinkled in amongst a lot of duds. I dont think the track placement helps the album either.

I enjoy HFTS a lot but again there is simply not enough ideas to justify the length of the songs. They write excellent riffs but run them into the ground over the course of 9 - 10 minutes. Someone mentioned the features being the stand outs but once again they add very little. I recall Neige from Alcest being on the last record and it was the most wasteful and pointless feature ever, and here it is much the same bar the cover song.

I found this to be a poor and (at times) awkward effort. Not quite sure what happened to these guys but their on a downward trajectory for sure. Shame too, Battle Metal and The Varangian Way were really enjoyable albums back in the day.
