They're really going in an even more prog direction. I happen to really like this band, and I can't wait for this album.

They also have a Myspace page (who doesn't).

the production rules on this disc ... very fucking full ... with an unforgiving bass tone.

i like what i hear so far

 

[Henrik Main]

An entertaining listen fo' sho'

 

[Papa Josh]

Looking to sit at my top spot of 2005.... a heavy contender.

 

[lurch70]

Hot damn!!!

Shelter from the Sand ... fucker sounds like Death Metal mixed with some 80's radio new wave band ... fucking brilliant !!!

finally something original on the radar !!!

 

[Nate The Great]

Akercocke is definitely onto something. They just continue to evolve and improve.

 

[Demonspell]

And no misshapen boobies on the cover, a definite plus. Will listen later.

 

[lurch70]

YESSSS ... I got it ... the last 1/3 of Shelter from the Sand sounds like "Life in a Northern Town" from The Dream Academy ... fuck ... it feels like they will break into that song

 

[Nate The Great]

I ordered the CD/DVD version, so I'm hoping it gets her soon.

This has always been a band just barely not good enough for me to pick up an album from. I haven't a feeling that trend will continue but I guess I'll check out that song.

 

[lurch70]

this disc has the tendency to suck me back in for repeated listens already ...

 

[lurch70]

shit, so far this is the highest numbers for a review I have seen on BM

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Probably top 10 material for me. The album is going to take many listens to fully absorb though.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Absolutely love this record. The beginning of the disc sounds like fairly straightforward death metal, with the drums in particular being spookily reminiscent of Nile's last offering - but the band just seem to keep expanding in style and range as the disc progresses, but without forgetting to come back to a vein-popping scream and killer riff when the METHUL calls.

 

[lurch70]

not sure what everyone here is wating for ... JK especially, you will totally drool over this.

 

[Nate The Great]

No question that JK will like this. No question that this is probably the best album of the year.

Has anybody else seen the DVD that comes with this CD? Its funnier than shit!

 

[lurch70]

those guys are real pissers ... i remember some interview on Fuse TV with Julya ... they were full of this British humor ... love bands that just kickass and don't pretend to be the second coming.

 

[JayKeeley]

Man, I want to hear this now!! I really liked the last one, but this one already sounds like a step in my right direction.

I did enjoy CHoronzon, but Akerocke is simply a band that I'm indifferent to.

 

[General Zod]

And no misshapen boobies on the cover, a definite plus. Will listen later.

The naked chicks on their album covers are the only decent thing about this band.

Now that they lack naked chicks on their CD covers, they totally suck.
