Saw the vid for the title track. Pretty damn epic.

This is also on my list of things to order. I for one enjoyed the latest
Kataklysm, so I'm guessing this should something I will like.

.:crast:.

After listening to a couple tracks I can definitely say I liked this band better when their name was Kataklysm and they had some sick breakdowns and grooves. Maybe it'll change up a bit more as the album goes on.

I mean, it has many similarities to Kataklysm, ( IMO ) from the sound of the instruments and Mauricio himself, with a different coat of paint.

Since I am a Kataklysm whore, I'm down, and it's really a pretty solid listen so far, but I just do not see the need for this really.

I love Kataklysm so I tried to get into this...and just couldnt. Where is the heaviness? This is not death metal. Poor production and weak songwriting.

I generally dislike Kataklysm and found this pretty decent so far.

Prevail was definitely watered down, but I didn't mind In The Arms of Devastation. I think my favorite album of theirs is Serenity in Fire. That album is ridiculously awesome.

I listened to this once and was pleaseantly surprised. For some reason, I expected it to suck, but I quite liked it. Much better than last Kataklysm album, for sure.

Picked this up on a yellow sticker discount .. it's not bad. The vocals aren't the greatest, but I like the subject matter and that matters a lot on a concept album.
