You will be in a pure euphoric mood by purchasing this special edition if you are a huge fan of Akercocke. The entire album is near perfection, which means I love every single track. But the two tracks below have always stood out whenever I am listening to this album.
My rating on this album : 95/100 (★★★★☆)
"Akercocke came back with this near-perfect concoction after the long hiatus. They've never ceased to amaze me throughout their career. The technical offering of the band members is brilliant as always. The musical feature that hit me the most is the changes and breaks of tempo. Those features help jazzy and avant-garde structures combine with dreamy, and hallucinating melodies in a progressive metal way. Overall, it is another utterly creative addition to the band's career."
Recommended Track-1 : 1. Disappear

"This album is one of my all-time favourites without a doubt. It perfectly suits my musical taste. It displays the second-to-none level of a mixture of black and death metal with a sophisticated touch of avant-garde approach. The prowess of the songwriting has been exquisitely executed in a jaw-dropping way, which makes all the tracks in this album contain full of undeniably charming elements in a satanic atmosphere."
I cannot pick one up, to be honest. Every single track in this album deserves to take your time. I just randomly picked the two tracks below from the album.

"It would be viewed as extremely nitpicky if I look for something to complain about the quality of this album. It is the beginning of the glorious trio in Akercocke's career. The rest of the trio is, of course, Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone and Antichrist. The gruff vocals and distorted guitar works make every single track sound mysterious. Especially the muddy guitar tone with incredible heaviness helps craft the unorthodox and unique atmosphere of this album."

Akercocke – Antichrist (2007)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Earache Records Ltd.
▸ Catalog Number - MOSH347CDD

▸ Released - Nov 24, 2021
My rating on this album : 96/100
"It is a tough task to live up to the fans' high expectations if a band released a masterpiece before and is on the verge of releasing a follower. Akercocke successfully responded to those immense expectations in this album. Like its predecessor, it triumphs where many other black and death metal albums usually fail: musical experimentation. The instrumentation to execute the structural experimentation in this album is amazing by combining progressive composition techniques."
