Description/Reviews: 

Hubardo is an approximately 100-minute conceptual epic double-album, with story and lyrics written by longtime lyricist and former Maudlin Of The Well vocalist, Jason Byron. Musically, the album covers the spectrum of all of the band's works, from the sparse doomy elements of Choirs of The Eye, to the blast-beat, woodwind-driven Gamma Knife, the chorus-bass goth fusion of Coyote, and even lush orchestrated prog moments harkening back to the days of their previous band, Maudlin Of The Well, and, as with all the band's releases, Driver and Co. venturing into new territory.
