Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a direct thematic sequel to their legendary 2007 breakthrough, the North Carolina quintet returns to the sweeping, continuous suite structure of their mid-career peak. The album seamlessly transitions between punishing metalcore riffs, complex progressive metal passages, and sudden, quirky diversions into varying musical genres. It was widely celebrated by fans as a triumphant, technically dazzling return to form.
