The Agent That Shapes the Desert Comments

It is a terrific avant-garde metal album. There are no visible defects from the beginning to the end. This album, in general, has structural similarities to the avant-garde masterpiece, Written in Waters by Ved Buens Ende. It means that each track has its own distinct musical character conjuring a forlorn atmosphere out of bizarre vocals with the jarring guitar works. Overall, it is a stellar piece of avant-garde euphoria.
