Fantastic hidden gem! Takes you on a real journey from start to finish. Great for fans of Ne Obliviscaris.

This album is amazing!! Top-notch melodies, dynamics and atmosphere! (The big three in this style for me) Really one of the best in the genre. The instrumental interludes are a really nice touch to the cosmic feel, especially with the breathtaking "Hadean Heart" giving a different feel than the rest of the album. Spoken parts are surprisingly well done too.

Yeah this is just incredible. The album could have been only the 4 mains tracks IMO since they already include interludes and instrumental passages, but other than that, just excellent all around.

Truly incredible in scope, performance and enjoyability. Probably not a frequent listen for me though, seeing the songs are so long and intense. For longer songs, I tend to only enjoy post metal truly.

Only gripe is the 18-min track probably could be a little shorter, I don't know if the band was ready for such a runtime. The other long songs are amazing though.
