I have been listening to this alot lately, blends post-metal, sludge, atmosphere into a fresh sound...post-hardcore!

I don't know why I haven't listened to this before.

This is one of the most devastatingly destructive albums I have ever heard and it manages to be damn stunningly beautiful at the same time.

I am amazed how many people haven't heard this record. The words "post hardcore" must scare people off. This is a tremendous effort and one of my favorite albums ever. Metal fans are missing out...

Great album, although I'm not a big fan of clean vocals.

Hmmm, I am starting to dig post-hardcore clean vox more and more. When done right, like on this monster of an album, it swings the mood!

Talking with Ilham...I may '10' this...

You're putting pressure on me man, but I'll still remain true to myself when I finally listen to it and rate it .

I've never listened to this but I've admired that artwork for a long time.

Yeah it reminds me of a rural version of Animals.

Jay, I listened to it. I would say there's actually more post-metal than post-hardcore in this. I love how it flows between those two genres, ambient interludes, heavy sludge and almost math-y moments. I don't mind the emo cleans, they're not badly done and those powerful "harshs" are really predominant anyway. This is just great, a little long, but it's really worth staying put during 66 minutes. The apparent brutality of it is actually the best conductor for that emotion that lies underneath. Impressive début, I am looking forward hearing their second so much. It's really one of the best albums I've heard in a little while.

I wanna listen to this
