"I purchased this album on a whim. It was suggested to me by a friend, it was reasonably priced on Amazon, so I went for it.



I have been really impressed with the music. It is very well developed, and many of the songs go through different soundscapes. They mostly use "hard-core" style vocals, but somehow, the music feels more like "easy-listening" post-metal, if that makes any sense. The mood that it creates is very good. They even use saxophone, but it is utilized tastefully, and without sounding overdone.



I think that fans of Isis or Mouth of the Architect will not be disappointed. Also, the album opener Worm is currently available free of charge on Amazon, and I would highly recommend it to get a taste of this band (February 1, 2010)."
