Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third full-length from the Pennsylvania death metal outfit boldly incorporates extensive, soaring saxophone solos performed by Zach Strouse into their complex, djent-influenced riffing. The highly conceptual, autumnally-themed album pairs incredibly brutal, highly technical death metal sequences with gorgeous, jazzy atmospheric interludes and clean vocal hooks. The daring genre-fusion earned them massive underground acclaim and firmly established their identity in modern progressive metal.
