Distorted Sound

All Our Gods… stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the creative Behemoths of modern heavy music and will certainly be one of the year’s highlights.

AllMusic
This is heady and hearty stuff delivered by a band surveying the ruins below from their creative peak.

Exclaim!

If All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us was an Olympic gymnastic performance, it would have nailed the double backflip but stumbled just a bit on the landing, leaving onlookers blown away by the trick and barely remembering that last wobble.

Now on album number seven, the Brighton juggernauts have well and truly hit their stride.

There’s something very human at the heart of this inhuman noise.

REVIEW REPOST #025. I repost my old reviews, which got no attention, with updated thoughts. Posted this review last year, but I'm posting it again alongside my updated and original review. This is going to be one of my most important reviews since this is one of the most important albums in my life.

Album Swap with @RemisReviews

I was blindsided with how good this was. I was about to go to bed but decided to listen to one more album before bed. I wasn't ready to hear the musical metal masterpiece that this is. wow.

My problem with this album is that every song sound the same, the same kind of riffs and the same kind of screams. I literally can't tell them apart. They felt really long as well, the same note screaming just became boring. Maybe if I listen to it more I'll appreciate it, but for now, I don't. There were good moments that I liked tho, but most of the songs felt empty to me.
