Anybody else heard this yet? Just listened to it and it's pretty awesome. I hadn't really listened to these guys too much till earlier this week when I listened to Buried in Oblivion. Great band.

Awesome band. I have the torrent file, but haven't downloaded it. Not sure if I will.

Me either, I know I'll love it. This band is so damn awesome. I'll pay for this without hearing anything.

Yeah, it's worth a purchase for sure. The clean vocals are even better in this album, imo. He's hitting some super high notes. I read a review on metalcrypt written by Lord Requiem ( :roll: ) for Buried In Oblivion and he talked about the nu metal vocals and such. He gave a pretty low score. What a fucktard.

I'll have to check it out, Buried in Oblivion was pretty good but had some major flaws so I hope they improved on them.

I though their debut was just OK, Dead Or Dreaming and Buried In Oblivion, I thought, were fucking killer. Their problem has been production, which I've felt could have been better on both albums. In fact, I'd said that was the mix that plagued them most, but still, they were killer.

As for the new album, I broke and downloaded it. MY GOD!!! It is AMAZING! Seriously. Everything on this album is ten times better than on previous albums. Holy shit if this isn't one of the top 5 best metal albums of 2006! :shock:

I downloaded it but don't have the time to listen now. All 3 albums were awesome imo. I'm sure this one rules too.


They're like the future of metal, everything combined and perfectly executed. We need a review of this here, to whom it may concern.

Well it's better than their last 2 albums, I wish they had a better singer, like if they had the guy from Mercenary they would be totally orgasmic.

You still don't like him? Man, I think he fucking owns on this album!

I agree. I listened to it twice more today and he is awesome. Pwnage album.

With my initial listen, the only facet that I felt had been improved were the vocals, although I absolutely hate the fact that they did away with the crazy vocal melodies they used to have. To me this album has way too professional of a production, and sounds more like a random collection of songs than one coherent album. I definitely think they took a hit in the songwriting department when those few people left after Buried in Oblivion.

With that being said, I think its still a better album than 95% of the other albums I've heard come out of this genre, while never being able to hold a candle to Buried in Oblivion.

I downloaded, but this is an auto-purchase on release.

These guys are just so talented. Buried in Oblivion and Dead and Dreaming are staples in my rotation... I have only listened through about 4 times, but yes.. yes indeed - it is pure Into Eternity. Brilliant! I'm sure this will end somewhere near the top of my years list.

He's better but his clean vocals really do not fit in with the music.

I don't know, to each his own, I guess, but I can't even begin to agree with this on any level. His high-pitched wails on this album would make Halford proud!

This will be in my top 5 of 2006! It's so killer.

I agree with Ken.

My friend said it was awesome, and all of you seem to agree, so I guess I better check it out.
