Something didn't fully click in me with "In Line Of Deathless Kings". Spinning it now, after what feels an eternity... maybe for the first time since 2006/07.
The songs are great - had they managed to insert a little more "rough", a bit more "noise" and by this I actually mean a few more wall-of-sound dynamics, this would have been another masterpiece. It is not a masterpiece but it is a great record albeit within MDB's comfort zone (it is one of the most identifiable comfort zones in metal).
