Obstacle of Affliction
What a wonderful release. The vocals are emotional and moving. Song writing as a whole is expertly crafted and performed. This is an excellent doom release that should be heard.

Symbols or The Sleeping Harmony of the World Below
“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself”.
(William Blake)
Symbols are everywhere.
They drag their power from our imagination, weaving a web of secret correspondences between reality and the realm of ideas.
A realm, a world hidden just below the surface, where our deepest desires lie, sleeping.
Symbols represent beliefs, ideals and hopes. They are the insignia under which empires are born and die, gods are worshipped, revolutions explode, kings are consecrated or dethroned.
It has been almost ten years now.A journey which has brought us much further then we thought. We are grateful for everything we experienced along the road, but we feel it's just the beginning of greater things. Three times you've heard our voice before and this is the fourth act of our story.
In the past few years we took a break. We've been crafting sounds, hoping to find the perfect chimera made of our many influences.
We believe this album is that chimera.
These are songs about history, afterlife, revelations, sex, religion, science, magic, war, paradoxes, atoms, myths, dogmas, miracles and wonders.
As metal musicians, we believe it is our duty to inquire the darkest aspects of life, to capture a small hint of the pathos, the beauty and dread of existence.
To plunge into the shady waters of the World Below.

I bought their other album, Spleen, months ago, and then just recently bought this one ... without even listening to it first. Thankfully Revenant is also amazing, serving as the perfect precursor to their more recent material. Tom's Reviews

This was odd, but not in a bad way. While during some parts it was hard to get into the groove, others inexplicably just... worked. Truly experimental and unique, just a rather acquired taste. spawnofchaos
