Really good album but can't beat the first two. Debut is still my favorite.

Even though I usually like more mellow atmo black, this band shines in heavier and faster parts. The calmer sounds and clean vocals have increased and doesn't do it for me. Let's see what time does since this feels like it needs it.

Another banger of an album from these guys! I actually disagree with Anghellic (no disrespect my man), where this band band shines is in its catch synths and great atmosphere when they give room to breathe. Pop Black Metal done right, Spider God are getting some competition.

It's certainly a captivating release and every bit as good as the previous two imo. This is one of, if not the best cosmic-themed atmoblack band around, it's very well crafted but the synth and clean singing elements are what really brings it to life here for me.

Didn't like it as much as Vortex Of The Worlds after the first couple spins but its been growing on me after further listens. Super solid front to back.

The more spacey these guys get the more I love them.

A friend recommended this band to me recently saying "they're 100% your thing" and he was correct.

This album is easily my favorite new album that I've heard so far this year but I think I like their first two a little more, hard to tell because I've only had all of them for a couple weeks. The band has a great sound and considering that they pumped out 3 albums in 3 years I'm impressed how much of a different approach they took with each one of them. Considering the shit their country has been going through for those years I'm glad these guys are able to make music this actively. The only thing I think would make them even better would be a few more progressive/longform song structures but otherwise everything about their work is excellent.

This is so far removed from everything I was expecting when I saw the "atmospheric black metal" tag, and while it's definitely not my thing, it's a really cool and original sound!
