Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Hushed and Grim' serves as a sprawling double album and a poignant tribute to the band's late manager, Nick John. The record features a shift toward more atmospheric, melancholic, and blues-influenced textures while maintaining the technical progressive metal foundations of their earlier work. Its expansive length allows for a deep exploration of grief and catharsis, marking one of the most personal and somber entries in the band's discography.
