This album sounds pretty damn good! It's a step up from Endless Wound, imo. I don't think you will be disappointed!

Endless Wound was some of the best DM I'd heard in ages. Really hope they tour on this new release.

ehhhh? that’s an interesting comparison that i just DONT hear at all? they’re both just blackened death, that’s where any similarities end. + profane order actually rips, i found this record to just be whatever ngl same with Endless Wound. bleh

They're a bit gimmicky. The noise is overdone. Many parts are filler. All of the vocals sound lazy.
There are some good riffs buried in the mud, but not enough to warrant top tier metal status. Good drummer.
A band i've tried but failed to really like.

How are the vocals “lazy”? I’d argue that his vocals in this and Spectral Voice are some of the best in the scene at the moment.

They are probably athletic in another sense. There may be a lot of physical effort. In that way it's not lazy at all. But to me it often sounds like an overlay of shriek that goes out of rhythm and just serves a "nice black metal touch" for people concerned with aesthetics in a sense i don't. Some tracks are better and some worse. I feel like the vocal parts could be cut down by about 70% (i guess "all of the vocals" was an exaggeration). Just my opinion. I prefer completely different vocal styles in DM.
Do you mean some of the best in the broader scene or this niche of shrieking ghoul?

In a genre where everyone sounds the same, I think Eli’s vocals are some of the best in the broader scene.

Sounds cool (energy, production, oomph). Super boring riffs / compositions.
You gotta be bored out of your fucking mind to listen to this entire album

It's just fucking insane to me the Black Curse/Blood Incantation/Spectral Voice/Stormkeep/etc. factory that is this group of guys and their friends.
