There's something charming about bands that don't give a shit what you like and just do their own thing. Is it death metal? Grind? Tech hardcore? Who the fuck knows? It's fun though. Ghuughra
I am not a big fan of EPs and I only buy them when there are no fillers on it. This is the case here. "The Loss of All Hope" is strong, varied and dynamic from beginning to end and shows me why melodic death metal used to be one of my favourite genres in the 90s. The opener "Transfiguration" has nice clean vocals in it, "Boundless" could be from Amon Amarth, "Rotten to the Core" has a lot of energy but is not so catchy as the rest like the thrilling end track "Enclosed in Crystals of Ice".

Pour les compos, j'ai beaucoup pensé à Cradle ; pour certains passages, j'ai pensé à Fleshgod ; pour le reste je vous laisse apprécier la maîtrise du spectre du metal symphonique tant les 20 dernières années sont assimilées avec brio. Superbe album ! Poesy Rider
Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2024
This is the very pinnacle of the band's work. The amount of great songs is staggering.
They don't experiment excessively, but what they do sticks forcefully in my mind. I can't single out a single best song, cause there's too much of them - The Cavernous Deep, Nonextence, Grit, Among Ashes and Monoliths and even Black waters have all set places in several of my playlists. This album hit me off guard, and it hit strong. One of the best in 2021 steeplejack
