2.5 averageelephantREVOLUTION | October 24th 20

Finally, a black metal band for Hozier fans.

Aside from a couple of tracks this feels rushed and uninspired, a far cry from previous releases.

Pretty solid EP. An interesting evolution from their previous stuff and holy shit is it poignant.

Exactly as Dewinged said, uninspired, rushed. A far cry from previous releases.

Since their breakout sophomore LP in 2018 many people have questioned where the six-man avant-metal band would take their unique combination of black metal and gospel/spiritual music too next. Well on their 2020 EP, they respond to those people with an astounding showing of alternative rock, doom metal, and again their signature black gospel sound. It also has some of the most intense and introspective lyrics the band has put out. Go through the heartache and turmoil of the black lives matter protest and how we as people should push for equality/equity. So many amazing tracks packed into the 17 minutes run time.

3.0 goodGene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | October 26th 20

It's apparently more in the height of emotion that this EP was made, because to at least half of the songs here there is no rhyme or reason for them to be anything more than experimental recording session blimps one would expect as a b-side (especially the middle section) dug up years into the future. But "Vigil" and especially t/t are stellar, no qualms about that.

Y?all?s neck beards are showing.

4.0 excellentRIPGemmy | October 23rd 20

A few tracks are a bit too on the nose for my liking (looking at Vigil), but aside from that, it's a pretty solid EP. Zeal & Ardor bringing some variety to their style as per usual (At the Seams for instance) while also having some familiar/callback tracks (particularly Tuskegee and Wake of A Nation)

Don’t usually jam EP’s but holy COW this is so good.
