Hmmm... I've seen this album many a times at my local record shop. I might just pick it up. Very good review, Bar! It is very much appreciated! Cheers, indeed.

I was also very impressed by their music video.

Sometimes ok, gets boring and overdone very fast. Hour of Penance was a superior band but they suck now as well, overall, 2012 has been a piss poor year for death metal as a whole.

This album came out in 2011, over a full year ago now actually.

Alex and Nima, definitely check this out. As I'm still discovering, this album rewards repeated listens for a long, long while.

Didn't like this album. I loved Oracles and thought Mafia was a great EP, but having the orchestral arrangements throughout the album made them just lose what made them so interesting in the first place. They become repetitive, rather than something worth showcasing like on Oracles.

I know where you're coming from. I felt the same way when I first picked this up last year. But there was something about it that kept me coming back and listening to it all the way through, and the more I listen to it, the more I get out of it. You eventually learn all of the ebbs and flows of the orchestrated parts and it's a pretty mesmerizing experience.
