Favorite Shade Empire album

[Stigmatized]

Well, the new album is starting to arrive for people and we've probably all heard it by now. So here is the standard favorite album poll.

My vote goes to Intoxicate O.S.. It owned my life for about 2 months when I first got it. The 1st and 3rd album are great, but don't match up IMO. How about you guys?

I had to think about this for a while. I found it incredibly hard to choose between Intoxicate and Zero Nexus. I voted for Nexus.

Intoxicate has a lot of...emotional value for me as well, it is the album that really introduced me to the world of Shade Empire. BUT...
I am amazed, positively shocked, confused and addicted. I knew Zero Nexus would be great but it is a million times better than I even imagined. Songs like Flesh Relinquished, Victory and Harvesters of Death simply make cold shivers run down my spine. (Flesh Relinquished is even better than Hatefeast, which I thought would be the number one SE song for me always.)

So, definitely Zero Nexus.

Nice to see someone else who doesn't freak out over Sinthetic. I'm really tired of seeing Sinthetic worship everywhere. Yes, it's an amazing album. But, I much prefer the more solid, full sound of the other two.

[Sorrow]

Yep. If you ask me, Sinthetic is like the...least good album. (Can't say worst or anything like that because it sounds like I don't like the album...) I agree with you, Sinthetic is like the beginning where SE has grown to it's present glory. Zero Nexus has more similar sounds with Intoxicate, but in my opinion there aren't so many similarities with Sinthetic. The two latest albums are what I call Shade Empire.

I can't really say yet. I have to listen Zero Nexus many times to get the picture. If I would vote now, I would vote for the Sinthethic. I'm sorry for being bastard Sinthetic worshipper. All in all, let's wait. I don't vote yet.

i too can´t tell what´s my fav album so far, i´m torn between intoxicate O.S. and zero nexus... that´s gonna be tough.

[R.S.Nemesis]

For me the best one desn't exist yet and would be called something like "The Best Of Shade Empire".

For me the best one desn't exist yet and would be called something like "The Best Of Shade Empire".

Hahaha, clever.

I'm torn between Zero Nexus and Intoxicate, because both albums really took the band to a different level than Sinthetic. Very dark sounding albums, especially intoxicate, but Zero is very diverse with sound while sticking with the terms of evil sounds.

Of course, my all time favorite "Album" would be Essence of Pain. Simply beautiful, it was.

[Haggi]

So far I like them all equally

But 0-Nexus is still growing on me, so who knows what I'll be saying in two months from now...

[Chaasrainer]

So I finally decided to vote, and the vote went for the newest one.

I first thought it'd be kinda hard to compare these albums as they are so different, but it turned out it wasn't that hard. Sinthetic and Intoxicate are great albums for sure, but eveything about 'Nexus is just better. They're great musicians and their career has just begun so I hope they will (actually I'm sure they will) be releasing even more amazing material in the future.
