Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their evolution away from harsh progressive metal, the Norwegian quintet delivers an incredibly emotional, string-laden art-rock masterpiece. Frontman Einar Solberg's soaring, falsetto vocal performances serve as the emotional anchor, tackling themes of anxiety and mental health struggles against a backdrop of cinematic orchestration and highly syncopated rhythms. The project was widely celebrated for its pristine production and deeply affecting songwriting.
