If you’re having a tough time getting through the album, skip to the final track, Apex. The fill choices the drummer makes in the opening; how the blasting section suddenly downshifts into a gorgeous, barren doom riff; how it builds and intensifies and then collapses into a single acoustic guitar that strums alone for a minute before the drummer quietly reappears… you can really get lost in all the details of this album, but they aren’t immediately apparent.

accurate review, comparing these guys to WITTR… both bands have an arresting sound but neither does a good job of holding my interest. every time I’ve put this on it quickly becomes background music… based on your enthusiasm though I guess I owe it one more shot.

jesus Christ, why do bands like this get all this good press, I mean come on, it’s competently played and all, but nothing special, unique, or original for fucks sake. bah, double bah.

hipsters playing an imitation of what they think extreme metal is.

I realize I only ever comment to rant on this site, im sorry, and have become a metal old man that doesn’t understand the new shit. i’ll go crawl back in my hole and listen to welkins some more.
