It's nothing really new, but it follows up the previous albums, and thats OK, as it sounds wonderful. I'm not going into technical stuff, it's pure melodic death metal dipping into the progressive, and the growls are deep and soothing, i really like it a lot, as much as both previous albums. The only kink is the dinamic range that should be at least 8 or 9.

Good for what we like FG, nothing new but nothing new needed. I just love this kind of melodic death with post-rock guitar touch.

Thought this was pretty par for the course melodeath for the most part, but I did get a lot of enjoyment out of Seas Of Flames at least

Good album. Works better as background music imo. A bit similar to Dimmu Borgir's Eonian in terms of enjoyability for me personally (though I overall rate this record higher than Eonian).

Some people I talked to recently said it was one of the best records they heard this year. Can't say I share their opinion but it's a solid record. Worth a listen for melodic death metal fans.

In the beginning I was made of clay. Then I bit the apple and they changed me to metal 🤘

I really liked it. Every track stands out till "Faceless". Exceptionally great the catchy "Chasing The Line" as well as the innovative "Dreams Apart". Quality all over their melodies. A fantastic work and a great production by the master Dan Swano.

Will vote it for mdm album of the year.

I appreciate certain parts of this album, but I struggle to keep my attention on it at some points. Some tracks just do not feel that special.
