4 stars Diving into new releases this 2015 I found this by Chaos Divine. As usual, knowing nothing about the band and its music before listening to a new album is the best way to face the opus.

Subgenre labeling can be confusing since Prog Archives categorize artists, not albums, and they keep the one that was assigned at the time of their inclusion on the site. This is no exception, and though it's labeled as tech/extreme metal the sound is very far from that.

Very mature, complex compositions focusing on melody, emotions and atmosphere. Closer to Devin Townsend's post-metal and classic prog metal era mid tempos a la Fates Warning than to their previous "explicit speedy math rock metalcore".

An album that needs to be listened to several times to get all they have to offer.

It's a good album, not essential, but 3 stars don't do justice to this work. So I think 4 stars are well given, it's an excellent addition to any contemporary prog rock music collection.
