The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
Swedish Atmospheric / Prog. Death Metal. These guys are simply stunning! Ignorant little me only found out about them very recently but now I cannot get enough! Stellar music in every sense. Plus this was just their first album... Wait till you hear their latest! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023
I'm in awe...and also disheartened that this has flown under the radar for so long. I hope they write a new album soon. This is one of the few albums that comes close to the cinematic perfection that you can find on Xanthochroid's last two albums. More should listen to this if you like extreme prog! Lekiwi
