no Leviathan release mataches or will match the tenth sublevel of suicide, period. tentacles of whorror pales in comparison that the fully realized worth of 10th s-level. the new one should probably have been LURKER of CHALICE, it fits in with those sounds more.

I'm also a recent Leviathan convert and I'm really kicking myself for not investigating this stuff sooner. I actually got into Lurker of Chalice first and I really wish I had known that album was going to be re-released before I spent $80 for it on Ebay. But anyway, I've been consuming as much Leviathan music that I can before my preorder of this new one shows up.

Wrest must be a real piece of work to be able to create so much amazing music all on his own. I think he is extremely talented and an inspiration to me personally. He really does put all other one-man BM bands to shame (not to mention most other metal bands in general).

i think Verrater is overraterd. Tentacles Of Whorror is ridiculous. whats with the goofy song titles? that tenth subwoofer album was good, but this guy has a tendency to tongue his cheek raw.

Weakling and Leviathan are both BM from SF, but I think that's were the comparison would end. Both are amazing in their own way. I feel like I should mention two albums if you are a fan of this one (which is SUPER good). If you don't have the self titled 'Lurker Of Chalice' get it now. Another Wrest project that is dark and layered but very much like a BM movie soundtrack. Essential. In fact, there was a time when this album was going to be a 'Lurker' album. And if you don't have it try and find the Leviathan double CD, Verrater. It collects the best tracks from the 13(!) full length Leviathan cassettes/cd-r's that were SUPER limited. This is my favorite material from Wrest and is just an amazing document of self recorded power. You will not be disappointed. That is all.

ive seen the criticism that leviathan "merely" presents a new take on an old genre. i guess bob dylan "merely" improves on woody guthrie… yeah even when the music is at its most conventional, as you say here, there is always some unusual accent that takes it into a strange direction. the man's achievements should not be minimized.

oh my bad. maybe confused me that sometimes some people describes Leviathan sounding like Weakling and so it somehow came into my memory ex member of Weakling instead sounds like Weakling, etc.

I like the album a great deal, though I'm not sure where I'd place it in ordered list of my favorite Leviathan CDs. The production is much better on all of the instruments, but I only wish the vocals weren't so heavily distorted. Overall a great release though!
