Excited ! So far the band that has NOT disappointed me over the last 15 years of so ! Trying not to keep high expectations but cannot resist being so eager !

I like Construct, it took the time to grow on me, but I'm curious what direction they are gonna take with this one.

We Are the Void is one of my favorite albums ever. Grew to love the stellar song writing on Construct. Def stoked for Atoma!

These guys are one of the few remaining bands that managed to evolve as a band, but adhere mostly to the traditional Gothenburg melodeath style they helped create. The impression I get from listeners is that interest has waned over the decades due to the fact that they've remained mostly the same for a long time, yet we see so many people bitch and award minimal ratings to new albums when bands change. I have no doubt this will be a stellar album, they've never disappointed me.

So true. I hate the hypocrisy of people who complain about bands who don't evolve and than turn around and complain about bands that do too. Truth is most of us would rather hate on an album or band rather then actually take the time to listen and enjoy them.
I personally love DT and love the evolution that the band has taken over the years. Can't wait for this one too!

Well that's an old discussion : evolve or not ? Stay true or not ? I have nothing against changes as long as they bring quality and this is what DT has managed to do ever since Projector. I do think tho that most of you would agree that some bands like In Flames also evolved but not the right way... I also like the way Cradle of Filth (to stay into bands I've followed over 10 albums or so) has changed and tweaked their style even tho some albums may sound weaker than others but at least you can pick up your favorite

In Flames is a tough subject though. They evolved to change their whole audience. Obviously if you ask their old audience (most MS users) they aren't going to approve of the change. However, In Flames has fans now from the Mainstream/Slipknot type. I still like some songs here and there of In Flames but the old stuff is where I was a big fan too. However, I think they do better financially now so I can't really fault them too much.
Cradle is a good example of a band thats changed well. I also really like the Amorphis example - their changes have been very positive and each rendition of the band has been great in their own right.

I don't have a problem with bands changing their sound, their audience, I've just grown up enough to realize "fuck it!" and go find a new band. If I feel the urge, I'll go back and listen to their older albums, or maybe nitpick their newer albums for tunes that I find to not be all that bad. I don't let that stuff get to me anymore, and have come to avoid jumping on the hate train, because it won't change anything except leave behind some pretty cringe-worthy rants that I'll eventually go back and wish I didn't write.
That's why I respect bands like these that have changed some, but still seem to want to hold onto their fan-base. DT, Amorphis, Soilwork, hell, you can even add At The Gates back onto that list now (praise Jibbers), among many more. So many great examples. They know how to keep it fresh, without taking a steaming shit on their fan base and looking at their new fans all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not bad. I've heard a lot worse from the genre in recent times.
