Liturgy comes back with another helping of avant-grade black metal with their usual abstract post-minimalism, classical, and glitch style that the band has been building for years. Although on the one hand, this is obviously a very artistic and adventurous album that fills my avant-grade brain cells to the max. But on the other end, it?s overly long and at times too complex to really understand. Definitely could be a grower with time, but I have a hard time being engaged the whole time it?s on. Still, there is a lot to love with this record and the ebbs-and-flows of black metal, post-minimalism totalism, and classical music allow for a constantly evolving door of styles. So, there is definitely something here to sink your teeth into, just maybe in bite-size increments.
