After the previous albums this phenomenal band has released who could not await such a gift? I recently ordered a collection of books written by the great author HP Lovecraft and in these stories I saw that he wrote a story entitled "Polaris", I knew something in the stars had to have cast that upon me. Let's begin on the details; this album provides a feeling of emotion that is indescribable, with Daniel Tompkins back behind the mic its a valsalva maneuver compelled auditory experience. I feel only he is the one with the abilities to give this band the purest of form they strive for. Ashe was phenomenal and he also delivered an amazing sound, but something about Daniel gives the vibe of belonging. As for the music, The opening track has an almost 'Fellsilent' feel to it, with a dark atmosphere and groovy nature. The bass and guitar tones in this are beyond perfect, groovy punches and catchy riffs enough to probably get a room of ravers dancing. I can't say a lot of negative details about this album, save one. I wish it was longer.3.5 greatHEALTH HealthHEALTH Death MagicVOLA InmazesAfter listening to their song titled "Gutter Moon" on YouTube, I decided to bandcamp these fellows and purchase the album, money well spent. I've bought several albums off of bandcamp these past few months, and some will be a one-time listen only to be set back in the library to be surfaced again when my iPod decides to play it (I keep it on shuffle). This album however is one of the few that I plan on playing over and over until it is branded into the depths of my brain. It has all the heaviness of a Progressive Metal band and the catchiness of an 80's pop band, that catchiness is one thing I really enjoy, Prog bands nowadays never have anything that will adhere to you, it's all just a mash up of sound with no structure. One way to classify this sounds is if Meshuggah had a baby with A-Ha. "Meshugga-ha". Give these guys a much deserved listen I don't think you will be disappointed in what you hear.
