Review

The overall sound of the record is steady and neat despite being aggressive, thus asserting the magnificence of sludge metal. The sludgy riffs aren't unnecessarily catchy, but are definitely memorable! The extraordinary bass tone, basslines and exotic leads add to the heap of original aspects in the album. Most of the music is neat and basic with a dash of experimenting at just the right places! The production is spectacular and puts to the forefront the dark, melancholic feel and unconventional elements like the basslines which are the driving forces at numerous places in the record besides maintaining the raw, dirty essence of the music. - 5/5
