New Cult of Luna - Salvation

I'm deffo looking forward to the new Mastdadon, Cult of Luna and Isis stuff, but not as much as i'm looking forward to the new Bloodbath album!
 
I far prefer Isis, 'The Beyond' didn't do much for me at all really. They have some interesting atmospheric parts and the build ups are usually promising but when the riffs are supposed to be crushing they just don't do the job and you end up waiting for a climax which never comes. If I was being unkind I might say that they try to emulate the subtle approach Isis uses but without the songwriting skills needed to carry it off. Just my two cents.

Mastodon are on whole different level of awesomeness and I'm not much for Neurosis these days. If there is a specific mood needed to appreciate their newest album I'm not in it very often.
