What an amazing tale to be told with the lyrics, and the music is both a thing of beauty and brutal! I lift my horn high and drink in your honor. (see said it would be cheesy but tis how I feel)

[@Sk8erBhai]

[@mungbean60]

I'll never understand how a mere mortal can create something so beautiful. What a masterpiece! I love all the fast, headbanging stuff, but I also love the instrumental songs/parts. They are not just a chance to come up for a breather, they are absolutely exquisite. Blackbraid is now definitely one of my favourite artists, and Moss Covered Bones will be my favourite song for a very long time.

[@pigeonarmstrong]

What a great album. Exactly what I needed in some very rough times. Thanks!
