Rating:
9.0
According to Orthodox Easter, Christ will be resurrected by the end of this specific week, springtime unfolds its wings in a shy way, slowly but steadily, the flowers bloom, the butterflies dance and "The Vampire From Nazareth" is about to be awakened. Well, my dear friends, this is the most appropriate moment of the year for a new Septicflesh album.

Is this a good album? Maybe.
Does this deserve to be in the top 10 of the year? Fuck me.

Now, I rated this album 7, which stands for "good", but now that this overblown record has reached 8.6, I'm tempted to change my rating to 3 or something

I'd rate it a 5 which correlates to "not good".

i guess that it has more meaning when someone votes an album with the rating he believes that it deserves. YOU and everyone else are not GOD to judge or decide if an album deserves to be in a top list... it isnt YOUR top list....

As a matter of fact, I am. So I have arbitrarily decided that this album deserves a 5, and so it shall be.

unfortunately there is no god. so stop bitching with album ratings... there is NO MEANING on that. believe me. i am not one of those who die for this album and i dont care on which place on the top 1023938 it is... i'm just fed up with people who vote albums to give them the position they want and not by giving them the rating they deserve (their "enjoyment-rating").

seriously a 1? stupidest thing i ever heard. first of all to me this is a 9, and i can't see your point, but taste is a matter of opinion. Whats strange is that we share a simmilar taste in music according to your listed bands. why do you not like it? and don't you think rating it 1 is a bit harsh?

Well yes, it is harsh, but if you really want to know why I gave it a 1, check the previous page, I think I explained everything there.

Actually it just sounds like you are angy with people calling it death metal, it's orchestral/symphonic death metal with some black metal influenses here and there. This is a much heavier album that communion, no one can deny that. have u even heard the album thorugh?? Insane drumming

I already did, and "The Great Mass" do sucks comparing it to "Communion"

Only If Symphonic Metal is more heavier than Symphonic Death Metal, then you got a point there.
