Yeah. Covers are decent, new songs aren't bad, but...

What's up with the Latin ae, is this some new fashion in metal names nowadays?



Very good album, I've completely forgotten about it.



I didn't know they have a new one out, I'm definitely gonna check it out.

I thought the covers were better than the new songs. They lack that party metal vibe the first album had where you could chant and fist pump to it. I guess the more hardcore-y aspects to the songs. It all just lacked oomph.

Awesome.

It's the new pentagram.

Year of No Light is a good mention too. Well played, Noods.

I really liked Imperium Dekadenz Procalla Vadens.

Latin is the new trend. Since the barbarian tribes are invading again...

Hour of Penance-Paradogma
Overkill-Ironbound
Triptykon-Eparistera Daimones
Immolation-Majesty and Decay
Limbonic Art-Phantasmagoria
Rotting Christ-Aealo
Melechesh-The Epigenesis
Autopsy-The Tomb within (great fucking ep)
Electric Wizard-Black mass
Alcest-Ecailles de lune
Ondskapt-Arisen from the Ashes
Inquisition-Ominous doctrines of the perpetual mystical macrocosm
Pathology-Legacy of the ancients

Honorable mentions: The Ghost Inside, Blut Aus Nord, Defeated Sanity,
Madball, Negura Bunget, Deftones, Dark Fortress, and Decrepit Birth.
