The Ohio outfit delivers a monumental sophomore effort, heavily refining their post-metal sound with expansive, cinematic songwriting. The agonizing, slow-burn sludge riffs frequently give way to gorgeous, delay-soaked post-rock crescendos. The record features significant vocal and musical contributions from Brent Hinds of Mastodon.
