Album Notes & Community Reviews
The pioneering Japanese avant-garde metal band returns to their blackened roots after years of symphonic experimentation, delivering one of their heaviest records in decades. Thematically centered on the Japanese concept of the four seasons and the inevitability of death, the album incorporates traditional Japanese instruments and chilling doom metal atmospheres.
