This album is incredible, too bad only few people are given proper attention to it. One of the best so far in 2015 for sure.

Agreed. I suspect it will gain more attention as the year goes on. An excellent post-metal album.

Okay post metal, typical Izah.
Live they are better than on album by quite a bit.

Really, really good. Old and copied post metal formula done quite nicely. Good production too, love this kind of layered guitar work. Best post metal I've heard so far this year next to Oceanwake's debut album. You should all check that out

This is seriously good. I heard Oceanwake just prior to it, and whilst I thought it was pretty good, I found it a bit detached at times in its split of somewhat sludgy CoL-esque post-metal and dainty post-rock/metalgaze lighter sections. Meanwhile, I found this album at times (particularly on the title track) to be relatively distinct from the post-metal pack in terms of its positive, post-rock-like atmosphere but played as heavy post-metal, although obviously quite a lot of the time it is still typically heavy and punchy and does do the usual dark-heavy, light-soft split at several points. The clean vocals are intriguing as well. I'd probably argue that it doesn't need to be quite so long - the title track is a tad impenetrable at a full half-hour, especially given how the last 5 minutes is gradually descending into noise, but the climactic parts with horns and euphoric playing was great. Not amazing but a rather strong effort.

Sounds good, it has its ups and have some parts that are more like to feel in the time...
In other hand the last part of the last song is simply stunning!

I don't know what they are trying to do. There are dragged moments and partly heavy moments but it just doesn't work for me. Bored halfway through the first track I skipped this. :-/

Finally came back to this one for a deeper listen. Not seeing what all the fuss is about. The elements are all there, but I find these guys to just be sloppy songwriters. Everything feels like it was just thrown in a blender and left chunky.

Agreed. But then again 99% of the bands that play post-metal are immensely sloppy songwriters.

Neurosis (even though one could argue they aren't post metal), Isis, Cult Of Luna, Ortega, that's about it.

Gotta concur on this one.
This isn't sloppy post-metal at all.

Very impressed with this album. Now we'll see if Rosetta can one-up them for post metal album of the year. :O

They suprised my quite a bit on Assymetry. Usually not my genre but it was quite epic. Gonna listen to the album now. And btw, change genre on these guys

This really is very good still. There's a certain oomph they have which I find other post-metal types lack, but it could just be their sound I like, along with the vocals which are very much up my alley.
