Anyone bother with it?
I've listened 3 or 4 times.
The first track has some melodic black metal parts, it's pure balls out aggression.
There's some cheese on it but overall it's in the same vein as the last three albums.
Slick production and Chuck Billy still sounds like a beast. It shits over anything the old guard have put out on the last few years. Not a high bar to have to clear but still.

That's what I was afraid of. I'll put it lower down the must have list
It's decent enough. Room 117 is the standout for me. Absolute belter of a tune. The rest ranges from very good to Ok. Some of the vocals and lyrics feel like they were copied and pasted from previous albums.
Gave it two or three tracks, meh. They're a band who've had their day. Early BM moments aside it's the same thing they've been churning out for the last 20-25 years.
Their first amd second albums are really excellent
