Now I pre-ordered this album, and it arrived three days early; on 2025-03-04. Due to this, I ripped it as usual, and listened to the FLAC files in their best quality.
The album starts off with a bang (Equinox Nights and my favourite track on it, Roll the Dice). What follows next is a comparatively slow track (Sinner / Saint) with more melodic elements and a fantastic solo between the second and third third of the song.
The Morningstar is yet another highlight for me, and one I hope to see live. It is superseeded by an "intermission" (Ancient Creatures) that feels like a villain intro for a cartoon. It leads directly into the heavy riffing of Primal Overdrive. Primal Overdrive might be the heaviest track on the album.
Just before we get into the last third of the album in terms of song length, we get hit with 4 AM (What's It To You), yet another song just written to be enjoyed live. Parasite's intro is reminiscent of Overkill's Ironbound, but then the song shifts into a heavy melodeath anthem that can not be underestimated.
Second to last, The Seven is the last single that was released before the album came out. The lyrics more cheesy than I'm used to with Irony of Fate, but it is nonetheless a very catchy and groovy track.
Finishing off the great album is yet another highlight, but a more calm, final-sounding one (Desert Song). It is a great end to a great album.
Congrats on the new release, and hopefully see you soon (live)!
