Description/Reviews:
Calling on all extents of their past two releases, Spires now provide a complex picture of the next stage in their stylistic evolution - from the sombre introspection, choral work and classical orchestration of ‘Elsewhere’ to the album’s title track: a simply enormous 20+ minute epic that showcases the band’s innate ability to weave extensive musical tapestries without dropping momentum.
The album’s lyrical themes revolve strongly around religion and spirituality, imploring the listener to accept the natural beauty of the real world without the constraints of fictionalised stigma. Musical comparisons have so far been drawn with the likes of Opeth, Emperor and Cynic.
