Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed debut full-length from the Vancouver quartet brilliantly navigates the intersection of progressive metal complexity and primal stoner rock groove. The record features intricate dual-guitar interplay, shifting fluidly between Opeth-inspired acoustic interludes and massive, Mastodon-esque sludge riffing paired with harsh vocal deliveries.
