I love this album more each and every time I hear it. Just cool as all hell. Magnificent.

I thought that the Vildhjarta from last year was pretty good, although this whole ‘djent’ thing is admittedly wearing thin on me after a while. I’ll have to check these guys out.

Haha, Vindicator and The Winnowing are actually the songs that are on the ep.

I agree a little bit more with your assesment of the similarities after comparing them right after each other, but like you said 7H7E is a lot less choppy. I guess that’s why I’m getting more of a doomy death metal kind of vibe (longer, more drawn out riffing).

Yeah I definately am excited about the new 7H7E album. It’s been a pleasant surprise, as I kind of thought the new Meshuggah and Jeff Loomis were gonna be the only highlights for me early in this year.

I’ve been spinning their ep all weekend long. (basically it’s 2 songs from this album and an organ instrumental to bridge them). I am really looking forward to this one.

I don’t really hear the Vildhjarta similarities though. To me 7H7E give off more of a cavernous doom/death metal feel, especially the vocals (Mikael Akerfeldt who?)

To me Vildhjarta has more of that Meshuggah worship to their sound, y’know more springy 8 string sounds, of course I haven’t heard all of 7H7E’s album so maybe there’s more of that sound in the other material?

Anyway these guys have my attention.
