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

I like it, but for me this is an extremely challenging album. It really challenges the limits of what I enjoy in music. It feels like it's "posting" post metal.
