A record that leaves the listener exhausted, scared, but most of all enthralled by the sheer malevolence displayed.

They now come thundering out of the speakers, brutal and precise in landing every blow.

Four friends flit from progressive metal into black, death, and the mercurial post- territories to scratch an itch.

An exciting new band crashing into the doom scene with a fresh twist on the expected cornerstones.

Thunderous, earthquake-inducing doom, the kind where vases fall off shelves and innards quiver from the force of the soundwaves emitted.

Ultimately, this feels a messy splurge of too many disparate ideas.

A delight to existing fans with its carefully balanced blend of signature sound and musical exploration.
