Relocating to a new label, the American extreme metal quartet pushed their highly technical, classically-inspired death metal into even more progressive and complex territory. The album features incredibly virtuosic fretless bass performances and winding, multi-part song structures that recall the genre-defining 1990s output of Death and Atheist. It was universally celebrated as a masterful evolution within the modern progressive death metal scene.
