This album shows that even as veterans, the band didn’t play it safe or rely on familiar formulas. Instead, they boldly mixed the raw bite of Metal and guttural vocals with moments of delicate piano and vulnerable, clean singing. It’s a striking contrast that shouldn’t work—but it does. The heaviness feels even more intense because of the tender, atmospheric sections, and the band demonstrates masterful control in balancing these elements. Each track flows with purpose, proving they’re still willing to take risks and evolve without losing their signature intensity.
