Too bad the generic deathcore things have remained besides the technical death stuff. 8, maybe 9... I was expecting more.
EDiT: Definitely 9.

Are we listening to the same album cuz I'm not hearing any deathcore moments at all?! I've listened to this album a few times already and I'm hearing nothing but prog/tech death goodness.

I've heard of this album on a few different sites now. Guess I should check it out, although I have been wary of their deathcore background.

Wow, this album is great. Not really deathcore, but more in the same style as Ouroboros and Vale of Pnath, but way better. The instrumental songs are my favorite

Thrash riffs, tech/death show-offery, atmospheric black passages... Damn there's a lot of stuff in there. I don't know what to make of it yet.

Well, after a few listens this does not work for me.
The musicianship is indeed very good but the songwriting feels overly simple. The atmospheric bits are put side by side with the death metal parts like they actually come from different songs. The solos and the melodic are great but again they're is close to no build up towards them.
I guess that's how it sounds to me:
Atmo black ... pause ... death ... pause ... melodic tech/death ... pause ... rinse and repeat
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good ideas in there but I don't think they have matured yet.
I really look forward to a next album though.

To be honest, these "cryptic astrological Freemason mysticism Dan Brown oh look an ambigram" covers get repetitive, so it's not necessarily a rip-off.

Album is caving my skull in. Also nice to see them venture away from this sound later on. Killer band

More than just how many notes you can play in a song. This is solid tech death! Some of the reverb heavy guitar leads were a little weird, but overall I enjoyed this album.
