Musical style

Melding together influences from doom metal, death metal, stoner rock and 70's psychedelic and progressive rock genres, the album aims to be as heavy as it is trippy, as melodic as it is dissonant and as beautiful as it is twisted.

The album takes the foundations built by earlier albums and adds to them, retaining the bands trademark ambient saxophone infused doom and creating new sounds with forays into blissed out vocoded post-rock and early 90's death metal, with brief stops into dark ambient and funeral doom along the way.
