I have a feeling this album is going to kick ass.

I hate the album title but since I like all they did until now, I will surely check this album.

I like the dark, brooding tone which is really effective in this album, but musically, things are a little too inconsistent to match up that tone. I mean, the best songs for me are the opener closer of the album-every song in between is sort of put there to make up the time, or at least that's the impression I get sometimes. Nevertheless, it is relentless with its delivery and none of the musicianship here ever gets boring, maybe a little similar but that's inevitable.

Those songs are quite long for a death metal record - I'll definitely be giving this a spin then...

Didn't think they'd be able to come off the greatness of their previous EP, but by Jove, they did!

That's one of the things I noticed right away.

I listened to it a couple of times. Very good album. I find it progressive at times (progressive for Death Metal, it doesn't sound like Prog).

Still have not heard this, but I'd like to see how a band previously as primitive as Cruciamentum has got progressive.

I think calling it progressive is a bit of a stretch from what I recall. Just longer songs each with slightly more diverse structuring than your average OSDM album.

Really solid death metal, albeit slightly repetitive. Full of chromatic and diminished tremolo-picking, just the way I like it. Nothing progressive about this whatsoever from what I can hear.

That's pretty much what I meant. Some parts are not so primitive and old-school.

Could use a bit more variety to be honest. But very solid nevertheless.

China was a neat
Really crunchy and awesome sounding riffs but personally I found some of the pacing could've been better and could've had more and well written faster parts.

This is a modern Death Metal classic. Nothing more. Nothing less.

In a way this is kinda sounds like Morbid Angel meets Bolt Thrower, but as a less groovy version of the two. It's pretty decent overall, it has a solid OSDM sound quality, and some occasional impressive synth work, but I can't say I'm blown away it tbh. "Rites to the Abduction of Essence" seems to be the stand-out track for me.
