Is this band any good? I have very conflicting and contradictory reports. People seem to love them or hate them with a passion

The album tries to be a melting pot of the last four with a few moments that remind me of Gauze/Macabre, plus the Sukekiyo vibe in the fifth song. It's not as intricate and dark as Uro/DSS or as ethereal as Arche, but more refined and textured than TIW.

Decided on a 4. Kinda bummed cuz this band is capable of 5’s, and have released multiple 5’s

it should be a very good record but the production makes it only barely listenable for me

Yeah, I don't hear Arche in this at all tbh.

Closer to Dum Spiro Spero at times, just not as good.

im biased cause they are one of my favourite bands but this band is dope and the people who hate on them most are metal elitists lol. The vocalist Kyo is one of the best, super versatile, people often compare him to mike patton cause he can do weird screeches n shit but also good growls and cleans

also dont start with them with this album, its really good but uroboros and dum spiro spero would be the ideal starting point imo if you wanna see why people speak highly of them

album art is so good but vox on this band have always been a massive turnoff for me to the point where they are unlistenable. Harshes are fine cleans are just terribad.

In general I'd say Arche and Phalaris would be very good starting points because they cover a lot of their styles, but for people who are more into prog and/or extreme metal Uroboros and DSS are indeed better choices.

Bruh youre cracked, Kyo's voice is crazy good, just listen to Lotus his cleans are fantastic
