Sounds interesting Zad, thanks for the review. I'll listen to it soon.

Good comparison to older Aborym! Well I largely agree with your depiction in the review: (usually) interesting, and horrifying soundscapes, but I can't score it quite as highly. Why? The drums suck, as you noted with the overly programmed sound, I also felt the vocals were largely annoying, more than engaging. The strength of the album was the odd and distinct ambiances used throughout, and whenever a riff was played enough to be memorable, like in Mirror of Eden, as you noted. A fair chunk of this album sounds just like a mess, a hot mess, no doubt, but a mildly cleaner production, and slightly more repetition of the key riffs would have greatly aided a still fascinating listening. Like I noted in your Ruins of Beverast review thread, I appreciate this sort of stylistic risk-taking, and am fine with Evangelist failing in places as long as the project keeps pushing forward. Good review of a band worth a listen for fans of Portal and Mitochrondrion, or those that wouldn't mind a more death metalish backbone to experimentation resembling old Aborym or Limbonic Art. 78/100.

Fair enough, it is very chaotic and I do think there's better to come. This sort of music is easy to make but hard to make well; definitely think they've succeeded at the 'done well' bit, but obviously there's room for improvement. Glad you liked it as much as you did, thanks for reading as ever!

Looks like this is right up my alley. Thanks for the review.

I would think so Karma, if nothing else, it is worth a listen. I bumped up my score a few points after repeated listening as well, just because it sounds so unique.

Still listening to this one, a bit of a grower but the density makes for repeated listens.
