the album is solid and I would listen to it again and it’s albums like these that sort of nudge you and tell you there is much more out there in metal than what has been presumed over time.

A lush and atmospheric journey that brings brisk mountain air into my lungs
Out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada could be the next big musical act in the world of instrumental progressive metal, and that band is known as CYDEMIND…The beauty of this record is that the entire record stands out, yet the flow of the musicianship and arrangements flow together like that expensive wine that is aged over time and that cheese that is cured to where it has its perfect, exquisite taste to it.
