The band Wake have had one of the most intriguing musical trajectories of recent years, going from a pretty straightforward grindcore sound to a more elaborate extreme metal style that has roots in death metal, but also incorporates aspects of prog and post-metal. With Ascension, Unfurl appear to be attempting to speedrun this entire journey within the span of one album.

When I first listened, I thought this is pretty fucking intense Hardcore stuff with nice production. But by the time Hyperviolet Estuary was halfway through, I knew this was going to be one of my favorite albums this year. It’s starts at full speed and manages to keep the intensity all the way through the Post/Proggy sections and it sounds great to me all the way through.

This album is pretty insane, the vocals are deranged, the tone is powerful, and there's so much aggressiveness and dissonance about it,
that is, until you reach the final track which is generally much softer. The last three tracks are the highlights for me, in particular "Hyperviolet Estuary".
