Description/Reviews: 

While there is rocky terrain and explosive sections, so much of this record make it feel like I’m catapulting through the clouds, on my way to the sun. Violence isn’t on the tip of my tongue. Instead, I find I’m stretching my mind and immersing myself in the band’s liquidy passages. While post-black metal remains a part of the band’s base, they’ve really pushed much further on this record, fully embracing soaring prog rock, jazzy sounds, and also some stormy weather to keep you aware of your surroundings.
