Description/Reviews: 

The first thing that jumps to the ear, is the interesting choices made in the mix. Romarin has one of the most distinct voices in metal today, perhaps comparable only to Maynard Keenan in how down right a-typical it is. The right choice was made when handling it: it’s given front and center place, crowning over the rest of the music. It becomes deceptive then, as the ear is immediately drawn to him whenever he’s present. But that would be a dire mistake: behind the vocals operates an approach to progressive music that is enchanting: instead of relying on blatant technicality, groove and hooks hold the day, carrying the album forward.
The trio in the instruments blends smoothly with each other. With Shallmin often dictating the beat alongside Alexander’s drums, Wead is released to interpret it in his own unique manner. This frees him to make some truly interesting sounds, balanced on the blade’s edge between riffs and leads. Nor is Shallmin once mentioned and then forgotten: his work on the bass here is paramount to the feeling of energy and youth that is prevalent throughout the entire album. And what more needs to be said than Tim Alexander? The command this veteran brings to the drum set always leaves one in awe, juggling simplicity when its needed and ear-bending complexity when the situation calls for it.
