Akercocke - Antichrist

[Crimson Death]

I am at a loss of words at how fantastic and return to form this album is. Some of their best songs yet. And while there are and there parts that don't click, like in their album Words that Go Unspoken, Deeds that Go Undone, the majority of songs pull it off grand with lots of hooks and eargasms. The song Summon the Antichrist can be streamed here: http://www.myspace.com/akercockeantichrist

the production is freaking horrible. Can't stand it. Did they just pull a Ulver or what?

 

[J.]

they couldnt come up with a better title?

 

[Six-winged Seraph]

don't like it at all, and the last two albums were amazing

What are you talking about? Also, its a myspace clip so the quality is reduced a great deal, but Ulver? Production sounds fine to me.

Summon the Antichrist sounded pretty awesome to me. One of the few death/black metal bands I still listen to with any frequence.

 

[AsModEe]

did you ever listen to their last album? This one sounds like they had no budget to record it!

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I have the last two albums, and your judging this based on a myspace clip?!? Even based on the streaming version I disagree.

 

[AsModEe]

well I heard some people who have the leaked album saying pretty much the same thing.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Cool for them. I'll make judgement when I've heard it. Honestly though, the whole album could have the quality of that myspace clip and it wouldnt bother me.

When is this out?

 

[General Zod]

Sounds like this disc is a step backwards. Did they take a ton of shit about the last disc?

I agree with that statement 100%.

 

[EricT]

Listening to the leak now... I take my last post back. The 3rd track would belong on Words Unspoken, easily.

Actually, the farther I get into this album, the more I realize that Summon The Antichrist doesn't really belong on it at all.

This album is getting pretty damn good.
