Yep, liking this album a lot. Great music, great production, great amalgam of modern metal styles. A bit derivative, but in a good way. This band wears their influences on their sleeves, but it’s done tastefully and with a lot of skill.

also thought this was better than releases from Carach Angren and Ne Obliviscaris last year, and I know a lot of people loved those.

this was my #8 pick for 2012. came out of nowhere and floored me, although it took many listens to really learn and appreciate the songs – there’s just so much going on. agree 100% on the Ihsahn vocals, best impression I’ve ever heard.

definitely not a scorcher of an album the way that old Emperor was, so you have to be in the mood for a dense, twistier journey – but oh man what a journey it is. perfect for long walks and headphones. expect great things from this band.

I’m sold. Sounds a little out of my comfort zone but digging the samples. Great write-up.
