It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Oathbreaker's Rheia is one of the most moving records I've ever heard, truly a masterpiece with no wasted moments, missteps, just basically flawless in my opinion. On the other side Deafheaven just hasn't worked for me at all. Taste's so fickle lol.
I'll check out the third tho!
Fair warning, Battle of Mice can be tough to listen to. Song 6 of "A day of Nights", titled "At the base of the giants throat" has 911 call audio from 7:00 ish to the end of the song.
Rheia is so fucking good. It's a perfect example of music driven by emotion and backed up by incredible execution of the music itself. Glad to see that other people dig it. As for Deafheaven, I loved it when I first heard of it and listened to it all the time, but it's become one of those bands that I can't listen to anymore because of the association to that point in my life, which was not great to put lightly. I remember it being an incredible band, but it's been close to 10 years since I've listened to it, so I can't say whether I'd think it's good today. Maybe I wouldn't like it today if I was just hearing it the first time.
Edit: my favorite Battle of Mice song, Sleep and Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k74EB4XVp0
