I'll keep my eye out for any other sources and let you know if I see anything but you might have to hope they have a tour stop in a city near you to grab one for a reasonable price at this point. Damn that's a great price, I never picked up a copy because it's usually so expensive. Thanks for keeping an eye out for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking to fundamentally change what they are doing with verse chorus verse vocals or anything, either. Hopefully they experiment a little more with vocals in the future. I am really enjoying this album. Edited June 6, 2017 by kannibal mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are minimal vocals in the songs, but listening this morning on my way to work, I didn't think there wasn't enough vocals. I guess I'm just getting used to it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I appreciate you keeping an eye out. I found out about them when Lore came out, not sure why I'm just now checking out their previous stuff. Dead Roots Stirring is really good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayCauseDeath Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I couldn't disagree any more that it needs more vocals, I absolutely love this album as is. I listened today and enjoyed every moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 So the Napalm Records "variant" is just the standard seafoam green from Stickman direct, not black like they first advertised. I'm annoyed but its not the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Finally got around to listening to this and so far I'm really liking it. I think Dead Roots is still my favorite from the band but that may change once I have more time with this new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm actually pretty impartial to a lot of sludge and doom brands of metal, and I believe I've tried an Elder album back in the day – Dead Roots, I'm 99% sure. It wasn't for me, but my tastes have changed a good bit since then, so it may be worth revisiting. That being said, the new album is definitely enjoyable after a couple of listens. The vocal style isn't 100% my cup of tea but it's more than manageable, and I think that the ratio of vocals to instrumental jamming is just about perfect. Really solid balance with a lot of good things happening on each song. The repetitive groove of Sonntag beckoned a bit of Swans for me, which I'm all about. Feels good to be late to a party and still have your preferred variant in stock, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my favorite albums now are ones I wasn't ready for the first time I tried to listen. Lore is the most like Reflections... of all the other albums so if you're digging this one a lot Lore is the next logical step. And maybe DRS might tickle your fancy eventually.

The Vool Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Definitely a candidate for AOTY! Loving it and have it on repeat all day! With the exception of Sonntag, all songs are fantastic! mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vool Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Added both Lore & Reflections to the cart only to find that shipping to Germany ends up at $50... I wish there was a place over here that gets these beauties at a decent price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't care about the color Napalm records has both albums for 24,99 € each and I'm pretty sure they are based in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
