| 4.0 excellent | Chino smoking it up! | February 5th 22 |
Their best is DW with a rollercoaster of events. This is a solid and steady experience, and its blessing is also its curse - the amazing outworldly closer, that kinda burns everything around to ashes in hope. We have to be resilient tho, and focus on those dirty descendant riffs all around the other tracks.

Krallice goes synthy, but icier than on Demonic Wealth. It's good woah! This feels much less like the band's typical riff salad (although it still kinda is and I'm still suspicious about their songwriting capabilities), mostly because the whole lot feels somewhat cohesive. That last track pfiou.

on their more conventionally recorded follow-up to Demonic Wealth, Krallice continue to go the WITTR route of emphasizing synthesizers and atmosphere in the mix over their guitars, which gives it a more conventionally atmo-black feel. To emphasize this further, the twisting guitar harmonies of olde krallice have also mostly been toned down, though their old avant-prog compositional flourishes are still to be found, just more restrained. The guitar compositions are less wild and structurally the band sound a lot more purposeful in their direction, but this also robs the band of the things I mostly liked about them in the past; wild avant-prog twisting bm riffing and generally weird songwriting. This is krallice doing their trad atmo-black arc and while it's very atmospheric and hypnotic, the riffs aren't very prominent in the mix and don't have as much oomph as I'd have preferred. It's still fairly decent though, if a little lackluster.

Not feeling this at all... Only the synths (=title track) saved it from a 2.0 rating. Terrible flow, doesn't feel coherent.

i definitely rate this above their recent work - it's good, the synths are a wonderful addition - but they used to write much more interesting riffs than this. listening to the likes of years past matter and diotima in comparison makes me long for that unmistakable style. their songwriting used to be so much more fluid, dynamic and engaging. if they were to mix the two together the results would be unbelievable. alas, this album's still good.
