Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released simultaneously with the more ambient-leaning 'Suspension & Displacement', this instrumental collection highlights the American ensemble's aggressive, guitar-driven capabilities. 'Burning the Hard City' is a masterclass in modern progressive rock, relying on complex time signatures and intense, heavy melodic interplay rather than vocal narratives.
