Mosh-pits in Mordor be like.. In all seriousness this album is a real one of a kind, a fusion of seemingly every extreme style of music on the darkest corners of Rate Your Music. It also kinda slaps? A lot?
Best Effluence release. It's his most cohesive work; everything flows together really well, with a really cohesive sound palette, and while I normally go to Effluence for no deeper reason than the musical insanity, well, I also do that here, but there's at least a veneer of self-seriousness to it now! It depends, but I tend to like my music self-serious.
Also, while it does meander a little bit at times, it's broadly got great variety and keeps me hooked from start to finish with lots of new sections and inventive stuff and developments and blablabla
