The songwriting brings many stylistic shifts between old and new styles, melding blazing, loud moments with softer passages in a more stripped-down version. Out since August 14th via Nuclear Blast. Catch him live headlining Graspop Metal Meeting next summer!

Out via Nuclear Blast Records next week Friday on May 22nd.
