Incredible album, what a great year for tech-death.

A madcap display of hyper-technical yet melodically inclined prog/tech-death - definitely an album where there's too much going on at times, but it's generally surprisingly engaging

Strong one!

Wow. This one blew me away

Incredible album, what a great year for tech-death.

Totally waiting for Archspire new one now!!!

Highly skilled musicians, very little variety though. Every song is pretty much the same, but "Spiral To Oblivion" and "Enslaved In A Desolate Swarm" stood out to me.

Very fun tech death. I'm really getting into the genre lately, just so many talented bands in it.

If First Fragment, Allegaeon, and Rings Of Saturn made a baby......

I just could not finish the album. The bloody music started giving me a headache. And I am usually good with tech death. I love allegaeon, archspire etc. But this one felt like a whole lotta guiter wankery without any sense of groove or rhythm.

My ears bled and I had a headache halfway through. Almost all songs sounded same for me.

I listened to this once over the summer and kinda went like "eh that was okay", shelved it for months, and then came back and gave it another go and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since. It's wanky as all hell, guitar solos are everywhere, drummer doesn't know how to chill, and the song structures are sometimes extremely complex, but regardless of all that it's somehow it's incredibly catchy and has layers and layers of great material that keeps revealing itself on further listens. Every single track as at least one "oh WOW" moment and to it and aside from the production burying the bass a tad too much there's not much I can fault here. Absolutely inspired and extremely fun.

The Best Tech-Death album from 2021 for me EZ!
