all that was "magical" about this band left them long ago. The new one is totally pointless imo, except if you like your death metal modern, brutal and technical, which I don't.
I had Black Seeds and Shrines, but I preferred Annihilation. I saw them on that tour and it all clicked. Some of the earlier ones seemed like a wall of sound so I liked the groove in that album. You could argue it's dumbed down, but I'm OK with that. Maybe I just need to listen with my new ears.
