| 4.5 superb | Tom | June 7th 20 |
What an intense evolution. Huge prog variety and packed full of earworms and explosive hooks. Can't wait to see where Pt. 2 takes them.

| 1.5 very poor | Bobshat | June 17th 20 |
Album has some potential, but it's all washed out by meaningless chugs, drag melodies and god awful vocals.

This kids have an incredible ability to pull melodies out of everything they make. Neatly crafted and curated.

Phenomenal. A unique and interesting album with so many different hooks and riffs to latch onto, with hints of stuff like pop punk and metalcore. Absolutely one of the best albums of the year so far.

| 3.0 good | Your own inadequacies have twisted your mind into a pretzel that needs a bit of salt. | June 23rd 20 |
I was really psyched for this album. Ebonivory released a few intriguing singles over the course of a long while leading up to this record's release and my interest was more than piqued by their blend of catchy choruses and standard late 2010s prog metal tropes. This album appeared to play both to Ebonivory's strengths and my own musical tastes, but I've been let down. The transitions are rough, the new material is pretty weak, and the elongation of the singles in their album form detracts from the pure joy they communicated previously. This album's blunted impact is a darn shame, because Ebonivory had an awfully high ceiling.

If you actually follow my music reviews or know me, you know that I love progressive music. Progressive metal was one of the first music genres that I really fell in love with. So many new artists in this genre I have a very critical lens towards. This five-piece Australian progressive metal band has finally released their second full-length album since 2015 and in some ways its equally as good as the last, while in other ways this is to similar to the last one. As you listen through this record you will be greeted with soaring vocals, powerful and heavy prog metal riffs and fills, and winding songs that scratch at the itch I always love in this genre. However, in the grand scheme of things, this is only all that different from anyone else out there in the prog metal scene. Plus, everything they have done here seems more toned down then what they did on their last record. So, it leaves me wondering what in the world happened between the last five years? In conclusion, this is a perfectly great progressive metal album and gives me a good satisfaction. However, in the grand scheme of things, it?s really nothing new or mind-blowing, both for the scene as a whole or for the band. But I look forward to seeing what the band does in the future.
