So.... Thoughts? I've been meaning to get this album since I started listening to Death, but never got around to it. Now seems like the perfect time to jump right in.

Disgraceful!! SORT IT OUT!!

I read about this steadily over the past month or so, and I don't actually own TFAoE anymore because some fag stole my 2008 reissue so I'll pick this up. Control Denied was amazing, shame about Chuck is all

Dude, (Not you Dave) fucking YOUTUBE. Open up their discography in another tab and watch each and every song on youtube, then buy all 7 albums from amazon. You'll be a better man for it.


On topic, I listened to "Consumed" earlier and it was one of the most epic things I've ever heard. DEFINITELY ordering this.

The secon album "When Man And Machine Collide" is supposed to see the light of day soon as well.

Awesome !!! Looks real nice

However, I gotta say, I've been told several times that "the new album is coming soon" but nobody has ever given me any news beside that.

not familiar with Death though

Wait, what ?

So I've heard, but as Deth said, that's all we ever seem to hear.
