Saw the cover art and HAD to check it out, and boy am I glad I did.

Fantastic vocals, amazing riffs for the most part, and a hell lot of energy.
Shade Astray is easily one of my favorite songs of the year so far, it SLAPS.

The issue I had was that no other tracks get to the quality of Shade Astray, there are some incredible highlights here such as Without a Whisper, Immolation of Night, and Purity Weeps, and for the most part, the rest of the tracks are good, but not great.
Tracks like False Meridian and Void Surfacing went on for way too long and I didn't feel that they earned that runtime. Elysium was a fantastic closure. I also loved the breather that was reverie, it was a lot more laid back compared to the rest of the tracks but kept my attention throughout.

All in all a fantastic record, I am definitely going to be coming back to this one to see if I like it more.
