Tasty dissonant DM, light on the dissonance so that it's still hooky and groovy but still quite hefty-sounding

Edit: The more I listen, the more I hear (good) Nero Di Marte in it, possibly why I'm taken with it

I don't remember being affected by the previous albums, but after hearing this I might have to do another take. Really solid. The vocals trick me into thinking this sounds like Behemoth

Well this came out of nowhere. this album is so in your face yet beautifully melodic. a surprising amount of variation in the songwriting especially for a DM album. great riffs, even greater solos, the drums are on point and the dissonance is actually enjoyable unlike certain other dissonant bands...appropriate album length as well. probably the only pure DM album I enjoyed in all of 2021.

Such a terrific and crushing release, one of the best in 2021 imo. It's very well constructed and both dissonant and melodic, with excellent drumming and riffs in particular.
