I see them saying that but it's 47 minutes of new material by one band, I have a hard time calling that a split ep with themselves. I kind of like the idea of a Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde album just not usually super tech stuff. I'll give it a shot though. They're bdm gods after all.
I also appreciate they at least for now, haven't abandoned their brutal death fans like so many of them do when they go full on techcore.
So far the second half reminds me of Cynic if they had stayed as a pure death metal band. First half is brutal as expected.
