metal

Any thoughts on this one? It's been out a little over a month now, so that's enough time for me to give it a good few (dozen) listens and let that new-album feeling settle down a bit.

I found it hard to imagine a better album than their previous release, Death Atlas (2019). I think Terrasite has some individually stronger songs, but probably Death Atlas is a more cohesive whole-album experience. Both are excellent. I've had the albums from Monolith in my regular rotation since I discovered the band.

Nine Circles did a recent interview with guitarist Josh Elmore where he said he says the band's progression and growth comes in sets of three albums, which makes Terrasite the start of a new trilogy.

I can't imagine how they could keep getting better, but I'm keen to see what's next!
