Yeah, it was surprisingly awesome. New Black Breath leaked as well, pretty fun album. Decided to check Borknagar out as well for some 2012-ness, pretty brutal bombast with three great vocalists.
Thanks for mentioning this, I actually did not know about this album and what little I've heard I'm enjoying a lot. Borknagar is a band I have not given enough attention.
I used to own The Archaic Course, Empiricism and Quintessence as well, but they perished in a "let's throw some shit I never play on ebay" closet cleanout.
