2.5 average | Chino smoking it up! | September 7th 20 | How does something that looks initially so good wears off sooo quickly?

4.0 excellent | Toondude | August 10th 20 | Reminds me more of Between The Buried And Me than Opeth but this is still some solid stuff.

3.0 good | cjbizzlebizzle | December 30th 20 | Prog DM that bookends brutally heavy djenty riffing with chord driven clean vocal hooks. The variety in the vocals is definitely impressive going from filthy guttural bellows to pristine cleans with plenty of range. The drumming hasn't toned it down since previous BCI releases and in general the musicians are just tight and on point but the songwriting is a bit of a let down at times. It feels a bit contrived and too deliberate and a lot of the songs follow a similar chug to clean sung chorus to chug formula. Also while the clean vocals are good technically the band definitely feels stronger during the heavy portions of the music. 'Years in Frigid Light' and 'Holy Silence' give a great look into what this band is capable of.

3.0 good | GamamJ | August 25th 20 | Quite underwhelmed as I expected to love this. There is not even anything necessarily wrong with the album, it's just, it doesn't really explore anything new. Basically since the great debut EP these guys have sounded exactly the same. Sure, that sound is a good modern prog sound, but some variation would be much appreciated.

4.0 excellent | BRAman22 | August 10th 20 | While it doesn't quite hit the same highs, I certainly understand the comparisons to classic Opeth.
