After one listen I honestly have no idea what to think. It was short, cohesive and tight. A few superb tracks but nothing that hit me like Qeres, Crystallophobia, or Everything Disappearing. Definitely digging the bluesy vibe. I'll listen a few more times tomorrow; I'm in no rush to unravel what seems to be a very well thought out concept.

2nd listen was better than the first. Father Part 2 is definitely ending up on a songs of the year list.

Darkness Oh Hell, Never Born Never Dead, and Holy Vacants are all equally incredibly, if not just a tiny little infinitesimal smidge* moreso.

NBND is my fave of theirs but I'm pretty comfortable with Astral Pariah being their best. All I've listened to for like 2 weeks now and I'm still excited every time it starts playing

Anyone have an inkling as to when the merch/vinyl will drop for this? I see on their site it just says “coming soon”. BUT WHEN?
