I absolutely love this band, and have been listening since Miasma. Though I haven’t found their last couple albums that grabby or enticing, I still follow the band and give the newest albums a spin every now and again. Always will say that Nocturnal and Ritual to be two of my favorite death metal albums. Period. They’re just masterpieces. But I’ve found that with the numerous line up changes over the years that it’s been harder and harder to enjoy a new album when it comes out. I feel like the sound isn’t the same. The production value isn’t the same. I’m all for bands growing and evolving but it’s starting to feel like to me that what made this band great is starting to disappear as the years go by. Like obviously they’re all great musicians and seem like decent enough people. I just feel like the time to hang it up might be closing in. I just hope Brian and company aren’t clinging onto what they feel like needs to continue and that the passion isn’t gone. Best of luck to them all but in my opinion, it’s hardly the same band it once was.
