The wait is over! After more than five years, Philadelphia’s A Life Once Lost will release their new studio album, Ecstatic Trance, next week. Angular, furious, forward-thinking, and totally trippy, Ecstatic Trance further progresses the band’s sound while maintaing many of the hallmarks that made us fall in love with them in the first place. Or, put more succinctly: Ecstatic Trance was definitely worth the wait.

And you don’t even have to take our word for it, because MetalSucks is streaming the entire album right now! You’re welcome.

Stream Ecstatic Trance after the jump, then pre-order it here in advance of its release on October 23 via Season of Mist. Enjoy!
