Ghost Brigade의 완벽한 상위호환. 더욱 세련된 악곡과 찰진 구성을 보여준다. 초중반에 잔잔한 파트를 넣어 감정을 순화시키고 앨범 후반부에서는 미들템포와 디스토션 기타로 한층 분위기를 돋구는 형태인데, 전작에 비해 더욱 다양한 요소를 삽입했다. 무엇보다도 키보드의 활용이 특기할 만하며, 앳모스페릭 락에 가까운 진행을 보이면서도 가끔 강렬한 리프를 넣어 주위를 환기시키는 균형잡힌 둠메탈을 들려준다. 보컬리스트의 읊조리는 듯한 음색은 밴드 고유의 개성을 확실히 잡아주고 있으며, Portished를 떠오르게 만드는 Leech의 우울한 감성이 주요 포인트 .

There’s so much I could say about this incredible album, and I could never do enough to sing its praises, so instead I’ll relay a personal story.
Many, many years ago now, I lost a very dear friend. Not that they died, no; they chose to go down a dark path I could not follow. And that was almost worse, because there was no closure, no finality to it, and it all ended in ... Read More
