Description/Reviews: 

Starting off with a track that lives up to its title, ‘Comfort’ sets the foundation for the whole record really well, but gives only a vague idea of what to expect.  Following up is ‘Liquid Walker’, starting off with dreamy landscapes, and then breaking into an explosive section of some sort of ambi-sludge.  With great lyrics, beautiful theatrics and sludgy hooks, this song is the total package.
The rest of the record edges on Alcest/Isis worship along with sludgy riffs. While it hints at post-metal at times, the songs tend to get heavier as the album progresses. The fourth track ‘Faint Existence’ clearly marks the start of heavier passages with growls.
