The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
All Unleash The Archers tracks are amazing, and the Abyss album takes their usual mastery to a new level, but some tracks still stand above the rest. The Wind That Shapes The Land is like the band couldn't choose between 3 or 4 tracks for this spot on the album, so they blended them together beautifully into this masterpiece. The only way to describe it is a musical journey; you can really *feel* the story being told. Dan
I can safely say that after jamming this album for 3 years, it is hands down my FAVORITE death metal album. I've never been able to pick a favorite before, but every single thing about this album is just perfection. Flawless production, god-level riffage, ride cymbal work that rings through to your bones, bass lines that perfectly accentuate the rhythm and the riffs, and of course HAIL MOLLUSCA Hatch
