Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Leaving Your Body Map' is an avant-garde metal album noted for its dynamic shifts between harsh, death-metal-influenced passages and serene, acoustic, and orchestral sections featuring instruments like flute, clarinet, and trumpet. Released simultaneously with its companion album 'Bath', it combines rearranged older compositions with new material, unified by conceptual themes of astral projection and lucid dreaming. The album's intricate, flowing songwriting and varied vocal performances, which range from growls to clean singing, create a surreal and emotionally polarized experience that intentionally blurs genre lines.
