Really good album - I'm not into post metal at all, but this haunting atmosphere drew me in.

The Pyre is absolutely extraordinary - will need to revisit The Woods to see how the album as a whole stacks up next to it, but this must be very close; the bleakness these guys imbue into their style is really special
