Let me get it out of the way, atmospheric sludge metal to me is one of the worst metal sub-genres to really come out of the post-metal camp. Everything about it seems boring and one-dimensional. It?s the genre equivalent of that one rich kid in your class that thinks there better than everyone else. However, what Abraham is doing on their new album feels so much better than any other band in the genre. Bringing in the likes of post-hardcore helps to create a balance between atmospheric and sludgy metal with that fast-paced and intricate guitar work of post-hardcore. A really fun and enticing listen from front to back.
