Wow, #2 of the year for you? Interesting. I listened to it once or twice and it didn’t grab me much, but I’ll have to give it another go. I enjoyed their 2011 debut The Last Caress Of Light, but they seemed to bring in more black metal flavor on their later albums, which wasn’t to my taste.

Yeah, I like a lot. It's a very complete album from the start to finish full of guitar harmonies and the melodies of the lyrics are very good, the singer is one of the best singers I've listened lately. No growls, no opera kind of thing... He sings clean and powerful. He transmits the feelings that the song is looking for. The album cover is very creepy and also the logo I think it could be proper of a death metal band. Anyway , They've been an amazing discovery the last year.

I like when I see conversations happening here :)
 
Having suffered the No Praying for the Dying embarrassment especially compared with Sabbath's TYR, Painkiller, Rust in Peace, Iced Earth, Cowboys from Hell, fucking Empire from Queensrÿche (everybody was talking about it, particularly comparing it to Maiden), Seasons in the Abyss, Motörhead's 1916, all great albums, then came this one, in the heart of the summer 1991 and put the final nail in the coffin. Of course, I couldn't imagine that it would take me a 10 good years to take a full almost ecstatic satisfaction from a Maiden release: 29 May 2000.

I hated this album that everybody was talking about. It took me years to come in terms with it. Now it's my best Metallica album. I like the cover too.

I need to revisit that album. I ended up loathing it (probably due to overexposure in the radio, magazines, etc.), but I am now 32 years older (and perhaps wiser, regardless what Judas Priest made me think :lol: ).
