Mountains pierce the skies
Bewildered by memory; instinct's protocol
Man-made amends for fools
Praising as the perplexed
Luring themselves astray
Souls in furnace
Luring themselves astray
Mountains rise
Casting shadows on the soil
Vibrations collapsing into one
Becoming fractions of dark matter
Cascading rivers of cosmos
Spouting anguish from the coil
Spirals
Bound regime rearranged
Spirals
Breaks the seal from chaos attained
Spirals
Leading to the sun
Maddening the Noumenon
Insane catharsis
Spirals
A new shape to come

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
