Sometimes, getting it just right takes time. To have this particular song as it is now is much better than to have had a less massive version on the initial album release.

There is just no way to properly describe the journey that this album provides, with its enormous riffs, varied sound throughout and the raw emotion of it all. A rare perfect album...

My favorite band successfully defends their crown with this new album. It's never been more difficult to try to compare this band to anyone else; truth be told, there's no longer any point in trying. FOTA is still one of the most unique bands out there, bending genres while keeping it heavy in their own special way.

This is my new favorite album, ending with my new favorite song. I can't believe that I found it through a reaction channel; this should have been huge upon release.

It's a blend of heaviness, chill sections for balance, and rampant technicality, with no shortage of genre bending along the way. It's a singular experience but if it comes down to comparisons, Dawnfall combines the very best of Slice the Cake and Archspire with the most impressive lyrics this side of Circa Survive.

It's aggressive, frantic, high-energy goodness and I want a lot more of it in the future, period.

This release further proves the band's incredible versatility (as if we didn't already know about it) and it is heavy without needing any further label.

For my ears, instrumental is the best way to enjoy this incredible master musician's work and it is surely on full display here. I am hooked on the experimental sounds of this album. There's a real evolution present here and it's something unique for sure.

I think that this is the single best track to which Jared has ever contributed. Everything from the super-dark tone to the vocals, the heavy instrumentals and the wild back half of this one just simply works.

What else can I say? This just goes above and beyond. It's not "just" neoclassical music. It's emotional, thought-provoking, and lyrically entertaining!

This is as much the soundtrack to the end of the world as it is a tribute to deathcore. If you have ever loved anything deathcore, this album has (at the absolute bare minimum) moments that will make you happy.

For me, this is an incredible triumph.

For me, Locus is a frenzied, creative introduction to this band. This is one of the most utterly unpredictable albums that I have ever heard yet it all feels structured, too. It's as if someone asked me how *I* would write music for this genre then made Locus just for me. Much respect...

To say that this Ichika is one of the best guitarists on this planet is not hyperbole. That is the level at which this EP operates.

This band seems to be utterly incapable of releasing anything other than creative, awesome songs.

They also deserve credit for putting out videos for *every* song. That's called dedication.

Oh, and this song in particular CRUSHES. It's extra dark and extra heavy.

As far as I am concerned, this album represents both the absolute peak of instrumental black metal and the reason why I feel that there should be *way* more of it in the world.

This is one of the truly unique bands out there right now and this is some of their best work so far. As always, the lyrics are meaningful to push across a relevant point more often than not. Great stuff...

After hearing Kmac's more ambient work, I always kind of wondered what a heavy Kmac album would sound like. This EP provides what seems to be a fair representation of that sound and it owns.

I need more of this.

This album is highly concentrated creativity in audio form. "Azure" is utterly perfect; I must learn it on the drums one day.

I've had a hard time trying to define this rather diverse album. As far as I'm concerned, that means that something was done right!

As with many bands out there, experimenting with going "heavier" has worked very well for Moonstriker. The sound was unexpected but its excellence was not.

This is one of those bands that should have had much more time. These songs demonstrate the great potential of Lower Definition.
