Accu§er- The Forlorn Divide

On March 11th, Geman thrashers Accuser will release their new album, The Forlorn Divide, via Metal Blade Records worldwide! Accuser celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2013 by starting work on a new album and inviting guitarist Dennis Rybakowski to join their ranks; however, the reinvigorated group took their time to craft their 11th full-length. Slowly but steadily, that new effort, The Forlorn Divide, took shape once again at Gernhart Studio, featuring the band’s trademark blend of powerful thrash metal, virtuoso guitar-work, intricate drum patterns – and of course, gripping, harsh vocals, highlighting the dark recesses of human psyche that are described in the lyrics. After 30 years in the scene, the members of Accuser have perfected their signature style with The Forlorn Divide – a veteran lesson in thrash from Siegen’s stalwarts!

This interests me. I have only heard a few songs by them here and there and liked what I've heard. Since their other releases seem to be import only, getting this one should be a cinch for checking out.

Looking forward to it. Their last three have been spectacular.

Found out about this last year, happy about the news regarding Metal Blade. I can't say that sample knocked my socks off though. It's rather dense, more death metal, and I'm not getting those killer groove sections that made the past three so enjoyable. But still anticipating it.

This.

Album.

Kicks.

Ass.

I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who has Spotify, go listen to this now.

I'll try and drum up some youtube clips.

EDIT:

This is the track that really grabbed me by the scrote:

Good to hear. I ordered the album earlier this week; I received notice it shipped yesterday. I put it on express shipping so I can get it before my trip next weekend (I am going on a five hour trip to see Gorod and Beyond Creation).

I got the album in the mail yesterday. I didn't get to spin it yet (though what little I heard from it beforehand sounded good to me), but I talk about Accu§er in my new YouTube video:

It's a good album! Scott also got it in the mail last week, as he shows in a YouTube video he uploaded over the weekend:

Killer album!

Agreed, I've listened to it three times now and it gets better each time.

Me likey

Meh, hasn't clicked with me. The last few haven't.

I've found the second half to be more engaging than the first. A little hookier, and some of the mid-paced songs/portions are really well-composed (the interlude of Sulfur Rain SMOKES) . In fact, I would have to say (four listens in at least) that the opening track is the weakest of the bunch.
