Extinction Protocol

EDIT: 42 → 67 Ok this album finally clicked for me. Basically it’s only war metal on a very surface level. More precisely, it’s technically war metal, but offered a way better listening experience when I listened to it like it was a BDM album along the lines of Brodequin’s “Instruments of Torture.” I don’t know if this is the same reason why other people disliked it, but it really does make a big difference for me and I don’t fully understand why. My best guess is that it has to do with the guitar tone not sounding "sharp" at all.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I don’t get what people are hearing that’s so good here, this just sounds like they took Invultation’s 2023 album “Feral Legion” and removed all traces of fun and variety from it. There’s been some legit incredible war metal out this year (tho you can say that about pretty much any year CABINET drops an album tbf), so why is THIS SHIT getting hype??
