Quoted from the Baptism FB page.

This winter will be a grim and frostbitten one.

Ah never knew Baptism had FB page, good news nonetheless. Grim Arts is my least favorite Baptism record yet Chalice of Death was way better, i hope new album is more of that style.

Really? Grim Arts is the only one I've heard and I find it wonderful. Looks as if I need to check out some other works.

I didn't really like the bands output after Morbid Wings since the cleaner sound totally weakened the atmosphere, although I liked the Chalice of Death EP. Will give it a few spins when it's out.

Chalice of Death was absolutely fantastic. Grim Arts of Melancholy had some poor passages, and while it isn't up to par with Morbid Wings, it's a quality album. I'm definitely looking forward to this, and my hopes are high. I especially hope it will follow in the same direction as Chalice of Death.

Nice! I really don't think that the cleaner production altered the atmosphere.

Having heard the production on Esoteric Spheres, I'm not very hopeful about the new album. There were good things in it, but some of the riffs were quite poor. At least the album will have Chalice of Death on it, so there will be at least one thoroughly good song.

The artwork is excellent, at any rate.
