  The masters are back! My favorite tech death band have not only released what will probably be the most ferocious and blistering metal album of the year, but they're also finally coming to Norway! I've already secured tickets to their show in November, and I can tell you right now; I might not survive that show. I'll probably die from dehydration or something from sweating all night.

  Anyway, this record sees the band take on a slightly more progressive slant, leaning a bit more into the atmosphere and grander soundscapes that they're known to break up their songs with. Like many others are saying, it feels like this album isn't as instantly appealing as their two previous offerings, but it's still hard to find fault with metal music that's this competently written and performed.

  If you haven't heard Archspire yet, I certainly hope I can convince you to have a listen now. Start with the track Carrion Ladder. Trust me, it's an experience.
