Really enjoyable album! The songs blend together after a while, but each of them still goes hard. The production fits their style well, but the samples and scratching sometimes feel a little out of place.
Compared to their last release, Gaerea has decided to incorporate some (to them) novel elements into their sound, with very mixed results. While the Gojira-esque clean vocals are a nice addition, the synths and electronic atmospheric elements clash too much with the post-black atmosphere that the band is known for. Good on them for experimenting with this new sound, but these new elements still need some refinement and seemless blending in order for them to fit their sound better.
Kind of suprised by the relatively high rating. Sounds like alright alt-metal slop.
