The Absence - Riders of the Plague

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Thoughts on this album?

I think it's much better than the first one, which I thought received unjustified praise considering bands they emulate (specifically dimension zero) do this type of music much better than the debut showed.

This seems more focused though and I like it a lot.

Just got it yesterday and it sounds pretty badass so far. Never heard their first one but a talented and promising band.

I love the cover of this album.Of course I've seen the cover way before the album came out.
I have their first album,like a few songs.But the vocals don't do it for me.Gonna check this out though,soon.

I'm buying this shit.

I loved the debut, awesome riffs.

EDIT: They had a thing for people who wanted their name in the booklet, I emailed them with my name so I should be in there

Riders of the Plague is an awesome album :] Big step up from the first album, which I liked a lot.
