Of course. There is no substitute for looking into the bands’ background and lyrics for ourselves. I just really appreciate that the chance of falling in love with the music of truly awful people is far less likely here.
Just one reason Metal Storm is so incredibly important and useful for me, is the fact that when I discover a band here, I at least know the music itself isn’t an expression of nazism or some other evil ideology.
We’ve all probably paid for art made by horrible people. There is no way to be aware of every single band’s exact ideology, let alone the beliefs the individual members. Just one reason why… tbc
no worries. I had already stopped listening to them when I learned about their ideology. Which is a damn shame as some of their material is just excellent.
Holy hell that is a fucking good track. Definitely a step back up from the previous EP, and on par with their debut. Faith has been restored in me for the sophomore full length.

In their defence their last EP was rereleased earlier tracks so can't really fault them there. Clearly they hadn't found the right balance at that point.
Hierophant Disposal Facility was my favorite back of their debut (the rest of them were also great) and this new track sounds similar to it. Also, I get weird P.H.O.B.O.S feelings while listening to this track. It might because omniquity has some mechanical elements here and there

MIne too ! The industrial mechanical feeling of the song is marvelous.

tnx.
They must have put this on bandcamp in last few days since I checked their bandcamp and it listened to their Aseity back then and this split was not there .
Everyone keeps talking about the AEvangelist side, when that Esoterica side isn't too shabby either.
Yeah Esoterica side is also good but the reason for talking about Aevangelist side more is that their 2nd album, coming after this split, was totally shit, while this track here is monstrous and mind-blowing.

Well I wouldn't have given the split a "9" if I didn't think both sides of the split were great. I've been enjoying everything Esoterica's put out since Idololatriae, they've just never released anything quite as amazing as Ævangelist's debut or Omniquity.
Omniquity.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Don't know what to say. Just... holy shit. O___O
The whole track is incredible but it gets even better from the 11th minute and onwards. I could listen to it forever until I become deaf.
