Embrace of Thorns Atonement Ritual
 
It very much follows what they did on the likes of Independent although maybe not quite as angry throughout. I would have liked to see the entire album longer than 32 minutes but it's not bad given the 23 year hiatus.

Metal Blade are streaming it on YT.

Not bad, listened to the first 2 tracks only, but some cool parts here and there. Not a fan of the vocals though, especially the more hard rock parts (ie "diviiide... and conquerrrrrrrrrrrerrrrr" and pretty much the whole first song).

Yeah Divide and Conquer is my least favourite song on the album and I think it's the biggest departure from what SR are known for.

Sadistik is a nice blast from the past.

If you like their old stuff I think it sits somewhere between Independent and Surf Nicaragua. It's definitely worth listening to for fans of old SR so they can make up their own minds where they think it sits.

Hopefully the new Exhorder will also be a good release next month.
