Brand new clip for the song "God Alone":



Mongolian ballet combined with black metal...

Leaked.

Well, album of the year?

OMFG this is incredible.
I've always liked Altar Of Plagues but this album exceeds all my expectations.

This is stunning. Damn, it sounds nothing like those "hipster twig metal" acts that are shrooming up every half a second or so. Truly distinctive and grabs your attention right from the get-go. Incredible.

Really awesome cover, will have to check this ASAP.

Fantastic album.

Definitely their best release to date.

A milestone in music.

A strong breath of fresh post-black metal air.

I had very low expectations for this album seeing as I consider the bands previous ones to be highly overrated and terribly average. It therefore surprised me greatly when I found it to not only be good but very good in fact. The album feels way more dense and coherent than the other two which in turn made it that much more engaging and emotional. I also enjoyed the bombastic nature of some of the songs and a few of the more intense parts actually remided me of A Forest of Stars which I can't really complain about.

Listened to this yesterday in its entirety. Not sure if I've heard anything like it. Kind of sounded like a jumbled mess. No structure. At least Mammal has some direction. I suppose I need to give it a few more listens. I can say the production on this album is the best of any of their works.

The atmosphere of this album is really stunning. They did a excellent job mixing the black metal intensity with the "drony" electronic sounds, resulting in a "complex", yet coherent album. Even the unique cover (and videos) are beautiful, fitting the music in a strange and awesome way. A very strong Album of the Year candidate for me.

Has anyone already purchased it? I know it might sound stupid but I'm eager to read the lyrics and I wanted to know if there's a booklet... Though judging by some photos I saw it seems there isn't anything like that. It would be really disappointing to buy a copy and discover that I'm not allowed to understand almost any word of what I'm hearing.

The middle section of this album contains some of best atmospheric/ambient/electronica notes I've ever heard.

QFT.

I wanna 10 this sooo fucking bad...anyone? Give me a nudge? Anyone?

Maybe it's just me, but I've just realized that the cover artwork seems like an inverted fetal position.
Anyway this has quickly become my fav metal album.

The cover is really bad. I mean it really annoys me, duno why.
Music itself is much better.

Not really 8]

Many people complain about this cover. I honestly don't understand why. Interesting, unusual concept, which perfectly fits to the content. Personally I like better this nice flexible body than another withered tree or a photo of old shack before the renovation

Fucking horrible cover art, great album

You probably don't know how "fucking horrible cover art" looks like Example.

Yeah that cover art sux, but this cover art still sux too. And believe it or not, that's my opinion without being homosexual

Nnnnnnnope, not getting it. Most certainly not a grower, either. Listened to it twice, three times but nothing sticks. Totally average affair.

I tried it a few times, and I'm in the same boat, nothing really clicked.

Flowless, full of noise, repetitive in a lacking of ideas and by far inferior to all their previous releases.
