In 2021 I was completely blown away by Misotheist's _For the Glory of
your Redeemer_, so when I saw _Vessels by Which the Devil is Made
Flesh_ I was excited. As with all their albums we get three songs of
which two pierce the ten minute mark so it feels like an album more
than an EP. While the sound and direction remains intact the
dissonance has clearly taken a back seat this time, and perhaps with
it some of what made _For the Glory of your Redeemer_ such a stand out
album for me. I don't think it's just the dissonance but as good as
these songs are (and they are very good) there just seems to be
something missing. Now these are all layered and complex songs and
perhaps it just takes a few more listens to "get" it, but this album
just hasn't clicked with me as quickly as the previous one did. As
mentioned it's still a very good album I immensely enjoy just perhaps
not as much as the last one.
