none of that is as evil as "slaves shall serve" or "conquer all".
Which aren't as evil as Heru Ra Ha or Decade Of Therion IMO.

Yeah, I hear you and ever since I heard this leaked version, I've been wondering if this really honestly is the fully mastered version of the release, I have a hard time seeing behemoth releasing tracks with clipping, however, the myspace track also is kind of strange mixed(Not clipping, thinking of the lack of bass), and that afterall is an official release. This really bugs me out. I'm looking forward to the lyrics of this though
Nergal is the shitz with the pencill!Other than that, I for one reaaaally enjoy this album, finally the "Wall of voices" sound of Nergal is back and you will surely grab on to stuff to prevent the massive force that is Nergals voice to blow you away!

Fragle, the only thing I've heard by Colin recently was Devildriver's "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand", and I find the production on that to be utterly "bleh" to be honest, so I was always kinda apprehensive about him being at the helm for the mixing of this!
Well if you watch the last video, Nergal is sitting in with Colin on the mix. I would say he had an idea on how he wanted the guitars to sound,afterall he is somewhat of a control freak. And to me the guitars sound similar to the Apostasy , which I think are kinda buzzy and thin. So it does not matter who mixes it, if Nergal has a say he's gonna get what he wants. I still prefer the Recto/5150,xxx from demigod by far. The drums are rockin on this one for sure

I taped this the other night when I saw them at Summer Slaughter in Spokane. Figured this could be for those who are holding out until August 11th.

Dude, you think The Apostasy guitars are thin? And I don't find them nearly as nasal as these either.
And I don't find them nearly as nasal as these either.It's all good, you like 81's and I like 85's and I agree with you on the nasal part.I just think the guitars sound more open on demigod than the ApostasyDude, you think The Apostasy guitars are thin?

Not sure if The Apostasy guitars can be called thin, but they do have this sterile grind that's rather unpleasant.
A few days later with the new record and all I can say is I LOVE 'Shemhamforash'. It is one of the most aurally offensive pieces of music I've ever heard. The way he strains that lead vocal line out is amazing. Nergal has got to be one of the best vocalists in the extreme metal genre. 1:45 of that track.. as it transitions back into the blast on the ride... holy shit. This track is the 'Slaves Shall Serve' of this album. I've always found Behemoth to be best on the fastest, most extreme tracks. I can't imagine how awesome these tracks would sound with Demigod style production..

+1 The title track on Demigod is so god damn brutal! Though I do like some of the slower stuff too, like As Above, So Below. I'm still not sure whether to check this out or not, even when it comes out, I have to say I never really enjoyed The Apostasy, so I'm dubious about liking this new album. Their style on Demigod and Zos Kia Cultus is much more to my liking.
Nah, I love damn near everything Behemoth has done recently, but honestly, if I had to pick ones I don't like quite as much, it's some of the raw, fast ones (e.g. I've never liked Prometherion, definitely my least favorite on "The Apostasy", whereas every slow groover I think fucking crushes)

I hate that supercow !
Looks like I'm going to have to be 'that guy', the suspense makes day-of-release much better.

I'm pretty sure "The Seed of I" is my favorite song as of now; perfect groove/speed balance, and a really heavy riff (though it also highlights how scratchy and unpleasant the lead guitars sound, and the rhythms not much better :Smug: )
so, since it's officially out now, i went ahead and bought it.
can't say a whole lot about it as far as die music is concerned....it seems to be more technical and complex than the apostasy, or even demigod. apostasy was pretty much like hit play, rock out for me....with the new one it's more like you got to LISTEN and really try to grasp what they're doing there.
of course, there's stuff like the seed of i, which is a KILLER track.
now, regarding the mix....tbh, it's not as bad as people claimed! not at all actually. sure, a way different flavour than their previous two, but i personally can neither hear scratchy nasally guitars, nor a lack of bass.
actually, what i'm hearing and what i can read here is so different from each other, that i assume the leaked version has a different (worse) sound than the actual album. good thing to stop piracy, haha.
of course, maybe my taste in tone is just way different than yours.....
all things aside, it doesn't kick me in the butt as much as the apostasy (fucked mastering aside)....apostasy had a very raw vibe that fit's behemoths music perfectly imho, whereas evangelion is very produced sounding. but then again, with all those people taking care of even the smallest things, things were never supposed to sound raw for this one. and for the produced sound they were after, things are sounding really good. it's just not the kinda behemoth sound people are used to, which might also throw a few people off.

Fuck yes.
This is a goddamned Behemoth album, and if you need to question anything after that observation then you should probably shove your hands down your pants and make sure your balls haven't jumped out of your sack out of embarrassment.
