Magic moments and inspiration are all over Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us as basically every song is catchy, vibrant, and soulful. A weak point cannot be found. This is the kind of album that gives you the immediate feeling in your gut that this is bloody great. There is really not much else to explain beyond that. Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us is absolutely world class music that is capable of competing with any other great metal album released this year. All bow down to the masters of gothic doom metal!
