Hanging Garden is a bit slower, longer, and more boring than the songs that precede it. It is then followed up by one of the shortest tracks on this album, the song just blazes ahead full speed throughout, making it one of the best that this album has to offer. The faster sections of songs, just as with The Crossing are what make this album so special. The softer sections are still pretty good though, but they typically aren't overly long, something that not many bands like this can say (looking at you Enslaved).

I was fanboying a little too much. "The Emigrant's Wake" and "Hanging Gardens" are overlong and I think they lose a bit of focus in these epic-length tracks, at least on this debut LP.

Metazoa is just one of those un-classifiable albums. It contains influences from basically every meal genre imaginable. Classic heavy metal guitar melodies streak across a back drop that belongs on a melodic death metal album while black metal snarls roar overtop. And believe me this changes from song to song. Post metal, many progressive elements, sickening breakdowns, hardcore shouts, and power metal melodies all make an appearance across this albums canvas. The amazing thing is that Cormorant make all these influences work perfectly for them, making a unique sound that is entirely their own. Also the overall flow of the album works great to, with not only the album as a whole being memorable but the songs as well. Definitely a recommended listen for all fans of metal. Best songs: Uneasy Lies the Head, Hole in the Sea, The Emigrants Wake.

Nothing that hasn't been done before but executed very well. Vocals are a bit hit and miss, they're a bit irritating at times
