Brutal and Canadian,
By Sunshine the Werewolf (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chronoclast (Audio CD)
I love this cd - I saw the cd on the day it came out being the cautious person I am - I went and downloaded 2 songs [Time as Surrogate Religion and Time as Methodology] which was enough for me to buy the cd. When I bought the cd and listended to it start to finish as intended I could only begin to appreciate the musicianship and beauty behind this breathtaking album - By far one of the most vicious and brutal releases I have heard in a long time - I do cite some neurosis influences but this is truly an orignal creation. These guys have a bright future ahead of them. Also Congrats to these fellow Canadians for getting signed to Relapse...

come on people READ THE LYRICS,
By boywbrownhare (connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chronoclast (Audio CD)
Musically, this record is f'ing epic. Very intense. Tastefully and intelligently done. And I have to disagree with the kid that said this lacks originality; it requires attention... but so do most works of any depth. Listen closely to the interplay here- there isn't a dominant instrument, with the others in subordinate roles, like so many bands. The drums, bass and each guitar are distinct and powerful throughout. Even without reading the "lyrics," this record will tear you apart. But that brings me to my main point... WHY HAS NO ONE SAID A WORD ABOUT THE LYRICS?!!? (well besides a vague mumbling mention that the words "involve time") How can you listen to the overwhelming vocal delivery and not wonder what he's talking about? The lyrics are actually a series of short, remarkably concise philosophical essays. Read along. Then read them without the music. Then think... and read along again. Once you understand what this record is about, it becomes... I don't know, pick one: epic. profound. immense. your constant companion. Whatever you want to call it, read the flipping lyrics. I'm not saying this to be a douche, although trust me I know I sound like one. I just want to share this experience, and it was pissing me off that no one seems to take the time. To anyone that doesn't have this... you know what to do.

Impossible to define,

Lenore's husband here...
People have described this album as brutal, epic, melodic. Let me add one more adjective: expressive. Listening to these guys makes me understand what they mean when they say burried inside. This album is emotional above all. All kinds of feelings and thoughts that are buried inside are struggling to come out. What we hear is this struggle which can be epic, brutal, and full of sensitivity. So, even though I am not a fan of growling vocals, in this album I absolutely love them. Although the sound is aggressive, it is not violent. It is the aggression of repressed genius. A truly unique album and experience. A treat for openminded individuals.
