had to pick up the repress!!! this album makes me nostalgic for 8th grade even though it didn't exist yet then and i hadn't discovered it until junior year. it reminds me of sitting on the floor of my cold, drafty bedroom in late autumn and illegally watching anime while bundled up in warm clothes and a blanket. i dunno how u did it but thanks for the memories Astronoid <3 fruitcumber
When I found Batushka and discovered that they split, I was definitely broken hearted. Then I found this. I can truly see who is the heart of the original Batushka and Drabikowski is that. The whole entire album is great from start to finish. Listen to it in one sitting in the dark or with your eyes closed. Top notch! Lanna E
The Philadelphia group draw on the playfulness of prog rock as you’d expect from a group who’ve labelled their style as “metal for astronauts.” Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 11, 2017
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2020
This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
