It's great to see Ricky back to the dark side! Don't get me wrong, I love the NEON trilogy but sometimes I felt we needed darker, more twisted, horror inducing sounds, similar to the 00.db, Serenade, and Witches material. That riff at 8:00 is vintage 00.db and so is the entire climax
Both tracks are fantastic, I just have a preference for Vigil precisely because it moves further away from that cathedral/synth sounds we've heard in the recent years. The acid stutter riffs in the final climax of Magic are amazing though
