Awesome dude! I was waiting like forever and a day to see this baby reviewed. I fucking love this album, at first I was unsure cause it is quite different from their past albums(which I also love) and the pace and atmosphere are key elements at play here. But like the best things in life this album just grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go, I'd have some lead, riffs or solo stuck in my head for hours on end, and I knew I had to listen to the cd again.Over time I began to realize the sheer majesty of this beast, and it will definitely make my year end list.

Great review man, I appreaciate the mention of my favorite song 216's solo. That soft break is just so odd and cool then how the solo screams in again is superb. These guys are very talented, able to write technical yet coherent songs that still sport that death metal atmosphere. They do one of my favorite things in death metal, the more complex patterns the drums and rythem guitars weave in and out of while the lead or solo guitar bobs around and back again. Just because someone is playing a ripping solo doesn't mean the others have to stop or be relegated to simplicity.Thanks for reviewing this one!

Cheers, Xinen, glad you like the review.

Yeah, it really took me by surprise how much I like this album. It's not exactly a big change from Chaostream, it's just expanded the band's range of influences. So the old ideas are there but with loads of new ones added. Definitely a DM highpoint of 2009 for me.

This sounds awesome! Cheers Charles.

I have Chaostream somewhere, but they never struck me as being that great a band. It appears I'll have to check this new album out!



Lo, an in-joke is born.

I do like Chaostream, but this is way better.

I agree. Chaostream has some great songs and hooks, such as The Birth of Babylon, but Immerse In Infinity just kicks all kinds of ass. There are some albums that come out and are amazing initially, but then fall out of rotation in the later months and years. This is not one of them I am pleased to say, at least for myself.

Divine Project is another fantastic tune, I love the solo, so pretty, the spoken passage and the triumphant riffs that follow. These guys may be second or third tier in popularity but this album elevates them into the upper echelon in my humble opinion.
