i have to come to peace with the fact that paul allender is gone for good and that cof won't write another "damnation & a day", or "midian", or "cruelty & the beast", or even a "godspeed on the devil's thunder". with that mindset in charge i really think that "existence is futile" is a very good album. definitely a grower as i find myself liking it more and more with every listen. this edition is a real looker, orange marble vinyl out of 300 copies. nuclear blast. 2021.
