I've been throwing the word "fun" at a lot of seemingly unfun albums lately, and maybe its because I've happened into a pocket of albums that were bands' 3rd or so, where they started to stretch and found something fresh. Or maybe I'm just getting some perspective on some of this heavier stuff.
Cause this is heavy; undeniably dark and brimming with minor key doom, but it's also exciting, high on its own thrill of discovery, with a clean mix that showcases the riffs themselves and the songs' sharp, angular momentum, with pretty little interludes that build brilliant album-spanning flow. Despite song titles like "Children of the Grave" and "Into the Void", this'll make your head bob in irresistible fast/slow ellipses and I bet it'll whip up a smile 4/5
