Ingraved epitaphs
Shrewd myths from howls
Lineal code of disbelief
Where tradition commisions sublime array
Across the chasm
Consuming discipline
Relish for the snake
Swallowing the hunter whole
Fortune turns the flock into deceit
Myriads of eyes scanning with the strain
Vastness is the fall, turning truth to lies
Across the chasm
Phantasms arise
Bathing in light
Shuddering endlessly
Currents displacing anatomy
Reverence for the art, vortex of the stars
Caught in a haze
Bound into the limbo ethereal
Succumbing to the state
Where ectenic force compells the warranty
Into the chasm
Into the chasm
Into the chasm
The fortune turns the flock into deceit

The technicality woven into every track is dizzying, especially considering the guitars and drums. Songwriting and arrangements are quite impressive, with intricacies allowing for some very dense structures to be built and unraveled without sounding unruly
A strength with this band album is the balance they strike between melodic guitar components and ones that are strictly dissonant. When those two ends converge, particularly highlighted alongside a drop / break in the track, the tone is sour Lorenzo

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
