if this album is anything, its incredibly well rounded.
choosing to step off the gas a little bit in favor of a notably more polished sound.
I dont dig it as much as psycho, but I'd be a liar if I said this is isn't a radical improvement in quality. MyNameIsRedundant
I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka
So, technical death metal often feels like quite the slog (or show-off), if the song writing skills / self-control of the band are not that high. This album is not a drag at all. Listening to this, even though it is top-notch-busy tech-death is way more calming than even trying to pronounce the band's name. Reminds me of Necrophagist quite a lot, which is one of the biggest achievements a tech-death-band can achieve in my book. Even the 5 minute ambient outro passes by in a few heartbeats. David Fischer
