Album Notes & Community Reviews

The cult British death metal duo returns after nearly a decade with a sweeping, incredibly ambitious sci-fi concept album. The record expertly marries blindingly fast, Morbid Angel-esque technical brutality with vast, highly melodic Allan Holdsworth-inspired guitar solos and ambient interludes. It was universally praised within extreme music circles as a towering, cosmic triumph of progressive death metal.
