A huge change-up from the six-man Slovenia-based band as they go head first in the depths of avant-grade metal. The third album sees a winding progression that is not all that uncommon from others in the genre but the way in which the band balances everything is a true sight to see. Not many metal bands can achieve the harmony needed for atmospheric sludge metal to work with the abstraction and haunting dark ambient elements of ?Kri? or the absolute pummeling you get on ?Kri??. Although at points I wish the band had a bit more ideas to fill the void, there is something truly breathing when it comes to experimental music on this album.
