'The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice' is not only vibrating on the surface of your skin. It is alive and breathing, a creature with a knife that cut deep wounds in your body while your soul shatters for air. It is a psychosomatic and transgressive disease opressed by a compulsive behaviour manifested in dualities - the one of your body and mind - and states of metamorphoses - mind becomes flesh become wounds become fluids become stains. Play it loud if you want to become the martyr. Play it low if you are the innocent victim. There are no levels in-between. Violent and intense, it is a hell of an ordeal. But withstand and you are promised bliss.
'The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice' is the new full-lenght studio album by raison d'être.

Personally, it's ok album, really nothing special. At some moments I got bored by those metallic type sounds, a bit overused. Overall, from artistic and musician view I give it 7.5/10 and from technical 9.5/10 (mostly because of sound quality).
