Callisto True Nature Unfolds
Callisto Secret Youth
On first listen it is very flat and somewhat disappointing, but more listens bring out nuances and layers.

Some very cool vocal melodies, lots of bass lines that groove, good music to just chill to. They really pushed the harsh vocals to the back burner this time, favoring cleans. The few times there are harsh vocals, they feel very powerful and raw. At no point did I feel like they should have had harsh instead of clean vocals. Everything fits and flows very well.

The last song, Dam's Lair Road, is quite possibly the best song Callisto have ever made, and definitely the best on the album.

Album is for sure a grower.

Love the atmosphere on this. The reintroduction of harsh vocals really sounds good, especially combined with his clean vocals. It's basically Kuu... with some heaviness thrown in.
