2.5 average | zaruyache | October 2nd 15 | Major step down from their first album. The songs are all much too similar and for a record that's >70 minutes long that's a big problem. The production doesn't leave much room for emotional input by the band, either, exacerbating that problem further. What they should've done was take that 77 minutes of music and mix and cut it all together into a maximum of 50 minutes across, say, four or five tracks. Their first album succeeded by having varying runtimes which aided its flow and diversity, but this feels like a wall of 10-minute tracks, compiled without Darkspace's level of finesse.

4.5 superb | copycatchord | December 17th 15 | Very Very strong. Has a wolves in the throne room feel but with more drone leanings. I think some editing in the future of the song structures will yield masterpiece level results.

3.0 good | Napolesonic | August 29th 15 | Trying too hard to be Deafheaven. Falls well short.

2.0 poor | Telekinetic | August 22nd 15 | Sounds like a mix of old Rosetta and Altar of Plagues. However kind of dull though and is a very predictable album

3.0 good | Dinosaur | August 1st 15 | I dunno, this is really a lot of the same. some great moments, but just way too long. opening riff
on Unending Grey sounds very similar to
Ash Borer In the Midst of Life, We Are In Death.
