Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a vital precursor to the modern djent movement, 'Drawing Circles' elevates the Dutch sextet's complex polyrhythmic approach. The introduction of vocalist Eric Kalsbeek provides a versatile mix of harsh screams and soaring clean melodies over the band's dense, atmospheric riffing. It is widely considered a cornerstone release for European technical metalcore.
