Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fourth studio album by the instrumental post-metal quartet features some of the most concise, structurally focused songwriting of their career. While maintaining their signature massive, drop-tuned guitar riffs, the band incorporates surprisingly melodic, uplifting crescendos and guest appearances from members of Isis and Sunn O))). It stands as an accessible, beautifully heavy entry within the Chicago group's influential catalog.
