Awesome band, awesome album. A bit weaker than Arcane rain fell, but the whole album is very enjoyable and handsome.
My favourite track is On Sunday They Will Kill the World.

This album rox!! I lost many hours listening to it! Draconian has been one of my favourites for a long time. But when they got the heavier sound they got even better...

Brilliant album. 90/100

No this a new full-length album. Don't bother the missunderstanding on metalarchives where it says EP. The playtime is just over 54 minutes.

I would consider it a full length, but it is not all new material. This was just a way to give the fans something while they wait for the next all new full length.

I'm curious, what did everybody think of the tag team approach to this review?

How can it be a full-lenght if it only have 3 new songs?
The rest is re-editions songs from the demos and covers.

Because the demo songs were previously unreleased, as were the covers. If any band releases a ten song album of all previously unreleased material, I will consider that a full-length. But really, who cares? It's still a cool idea by these guys.

I really do need to buy this, I think ... I've heard She Dies and it's quite excellent!

I agree with this for what it's worth... I consider it their 3rd full-length. :cool:

Great CD by the way, although the last song is horrendous.

The Pentagram cover? I loved that song!! I mean, it sounds a little out of place, but it still kicks ass!

Even the band said it's not a full-lenght, they are preparing the 3rd real full-lenght for a 2007 release, this was like a gift for the fans who wanted the demo songs re-recorded, and the demos were released, btw, but with poor quality sound.

I don't know why you're so intent on arguing over this, but I'll play along.

The song originally hailing from the never officially released luciferian theme demo The Closed Eyes of Paradise.

This comes from the bands website, prefacing the description of each of the demo songs. It may have been distributed in small amounts as a demo, but it was never released. Basically, you can say what you want, as can the band, but these are ten songs of previously unreleased material, which constitutes a full-length in the eyes of most.

You really have trouble letting things go, don't you.

So what is it then, an EP? You have a severe lack of logic in this issue. Wether or not the songs have been released before or not has nothing to do with if an album is considered full-length or not. Live albums are considered full-lengths.

Live albums are also not full-lenghts, OMG :blink:

you people are so confused. Do you even know a site called the metal-archives? See for yourselves what really is a full-lenght. They may have some faults, but they do know that.
