A bizarre release to say the least. Even after a dozen listens I'm still not entirely sure where I
stand with this one, even with a solid grasp of their last full length, 'Mind Cemetaries'. Here's
what I do know though: CCV are looking to expand out their sound in ways that are probably going
to turn some people off, even the more dissonant-minded, Deathspell loving metalheads. That seems
totally alright with them though, and you have to give them props for real sonic experimentation.
With time, this could be a release that truly lands them in the category of bands such as Gorguts
and Demilich, but for now, it's definitely novel, and certainly one of the most interesting
releases of the year.
