Album Notes & Community Reviews

Trimming down the sprawling, hour-long track lengths of their most celebrated masterpieces, the Norwegian act opts for a more concise, accessible iteration of progressive hard rock. The record effectively blends heavy alternative metal riffing with prominent keyboard melodies, retaining an underlying existential and melancholic atmosphere.
