Album Notes & Community Reviews

A profound turning point for the band, marking their definitive departure from traditional death-doom metal toward expansive, atmospheric art rock. Vincent Cavanagh formally assumed lead vocal duties, completely abandoning harsh growls in favor of a clean, highly emotive delivery. The heavy integration of keyboards and progressive song structures set the foundation for their long, critically acclaimed atmospheric rock career.
