Still hits the spot. Rhythmically somewhat more oldschool and thrash-adjacent than their last stuff i feel.Swallow the Sun MoonflowersAfter a frustrating series of either overly ambitious or just somewhat boring releases, this is very much appreciated.The Great Old Ones KadathTrivium In the Court of the DragonUlcerate The Destroyers of AllWRVTH No Rising Sun4.0 excellentAlcest KodamaAmaseffer Slaves for LifeAnaal Nathrakh EndarkenmentArkan SalamBarren Earth Curse of the Red RiverBehemoth The ApostasyBehemoth The SatanistBlind Guardian Somewhere Far BeyondBlind Guardian A Night At The OperaBlind Guardian At The Edge Of TimeDeath LeprosyDimmu Borgir Spiritual Black DimensionsEmperor Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire...HEALTH Conflict DLCInsomnium Since the Day It All Came DownInsomnium In the Halls of AwaitingInsomnium Shadows of the Dying SunKatatonia Last Fair Deal Gone DownKatatonia JulyKatatonia Night Is the New DayKatatonia The Fall of HeartsDefinitely a huge grower. At first I was very disappointed with the whole album, safe for "Residual", but over the time it really grew on me.Kreator Hordes of ChaosMy Dying Bride Songs of Darkness, Words of LightMy Dying Bride A Map of All Our FailuresOpeth DamnationOrphaned Land The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriORParadise Lost In RequiemParadise Lost One SecondPeriphery Periphery IV: Hail StanSepticflesh EsoptronSepticflesh The Great MassSepticflesh TitanThe Acacia Strain You Are Safe From God HereReally impressive. I like everything that is on here, but the record has a structuring problem. A row of 2-minute-ish tracks leading into Eucharist II makes the whole listen lack diversity. If there was something akin to "I breathed in the smoke deeply..." at the middle, this would be much better. Eucharist II might be their best track tho.

Squashed sound without much in terms of dynamics.

While 45 minutes don't suggest it, this is a bit long, and a bit too unfocused. Because of this the brilliant moments, which are sprinkled in abundance, don't shine quite as much as they might have done otherwise. 3.0 goodArkan HilalBlind Guardian A Twist In The MythDeath Spiritual HealingDimmu Borgir Stormblåst MMVHypocrisy VirusHypocrisy A Taste of Extreme DivinityInsomnium Songs of the DuskIf Song Of The Dusk had been on 1696 instead of White Christ, it would have been a great record. The other two songs would have been better off staying unpublished.

This was a chore to get through, and I have been asking myself numerous times: "why am i listening to this?". Mirage showed that this band can do so, so much more.
