I'm usually not into the cheesy brand of prog death at all, but the songwriting somehow has me on board with this.

These clowns actually have a song called Bellow and it's just 2 minutes of a dude bellowing

This grew on me to the point where I consistently really enjoy it. Invitation is such a killer opener.

Better than most albums in this modern prog death style. A nice mix of ideas, even though it's a bit homogeneous. For those wondering what this sounds like here it's the formula: The Faceless+Slugdge+Ne Obliviscaris

Btw, the chorus are awesome and I like Bellow! It's awesome as an interlude. Mongolian Throat singing is not simply bellowing guys, cmon!

Gonna check, for some reason it's on my list. Anyone know what is up with this band's name? It sounds so superweird to me

Okay, musically this is very cool, very good vocals too actually, did not expect good cleans here. Sad that the production is so supercompressed, would sound extremely good if the mix was more lively and less flat

Re-checked this today and I stand by my 4, this is a solid record for this brand of modern prog death, which normally bores me with the same ideas over and over again, but the songwriting here is different in a very good way.

The shimmer has died away on this band for me now, this one sounds fairly immature and a bit half-hearted

Singer's cleans remind me a lot of Between the Buried and Me.
