Album Notes & Community Reviews

Eschewing the sprawling, hour-long track structures of their prior opus, the Norwegian band embraced a more concise, hook-driven approach to gothic progressive metal. The highly emotional record heavily dials back the extreme metal aggression in favor of rich, melancholic hard rock and clean vocal performances.
