Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a single 83-minute funeral doom track, 'Mirror Reaper' is an extended composition built upon six-string bass, percussion, and Hammond organ, forgoing traditional guitar. The piece serves as an ambitious tribute to the band's late former drummer, Adrian Guerra, whose archival vocal tracks are featured posthumously at the song's conceptual turning point. Produced by Billy Anderson, the album's immense sonic weight and juxtaposition of guttural growls with clean singing creates a totalizing meditation on grief and loss.
