Melodic, thought provoking and absolutely unique…Untill I heard bands like Opeth, Neurosis, Isis… I hadn’t known that I could like any black/death/trash/progressive(Whatever other entitlements that could be involved) metal. This album changed my idea of metal even further. Its deffinately progressive in that vien of Opeth but it has a distinction I’ve never known untill this. This will be a contender for years to come and I can only pray this gets the praise it desevers: “Metal Album of the Year”if you love metal (and I know you do)… fork over the cash at you favorite record shop and support this metal marvel.
