First standout meloblack release of 2024 for me, I dig the use of melodic guitar leads and cleaner tones alongside the muscular blackened riffing

Some of the softer passages from the acoustic melodies and synth work are really nicely done, and for me those elements completely outshines the heavier blackened side of the album. I'm in no doubt it's a good album overall, and I like the theme behind it too, but I'm not feeling overwhelmed or particularly excited by what I've been hearing unfortunately.
