I haven’t really listened to the band recently either, but that’s not really because of anything having to do with the band, I’ve just been more interested in different music lately— Boston Manor, old ERRA (Augment is genuinely a 10/10 album for me), the new Clipse album. It’s not even me being disinterested in Foregone (Though I do want to see the band move on to something more interesting), I just haven’t listened to melodeath or anything really heavy lately, save for Augment and Neverbloom.
Edit: And old Blood Stain Child, but that’s mainly as a palette cleanser because their newest stuff mainly fucking sucks, like, about as much as the newest Cyhra stuff.
Maybe I’d latch on tighter to a new album if it wasn’t like Foregone, but maybe I wouldn’t. I just don’t feel like there’s much to talk about or even feel regarding the band right now. ITM held more of my interest for so long because it was something I did really enjoy it and find it new and invigorating back when it came out, though I’m not sure I’d feel that now. I just want to listen to stuff with a fresh, natural, and authentic energy at the moment. I’m hoping the band releases something to bring my excitement back soon, but they’ve rarely released stuff in a two year span for a long while now, so I’ll keep my expectations realistic. In fairness to the band though, it’s not just a them issue for me, even Dark Tranquillity and THE aren’t quite hitting the spot for me when they normally would.
