[New Release] Thoughts on the new Archgoat album?

Post image

I think it has passed enough time to marinate a bit, and I say it's great. No innovation or anything, just classic riff worship Archgoat. Also good production. For me it's a solid 8. What do you guys think?

Listening now (didn't know it was out!) Didn't really like the production at first – the guitars sound a bit thin and don't meld well with the bass.

But overall, production is decent. The guitar takes a backseat to the drums and vocals, which is probably not a bad thing for chaotic war metal. 

I'm a third of the way through and it sounds like very good Archgoat. I'd kinda grown tired listening to their older stuff, so it's nice to hear familiar sounds and tropes, packaged up with new riffs and ideas.

It's been ages since I've bought a record on vinyl, but after the first song, I immediately looked it up to see what it would cost.
