By making full use of loopers, numerous effects pedals, and sampling, the two string players produce a rich, layered sound that belies their trio lineup, while the powerful and groovy drums drive the songs forward.\nAs with their recent releases, Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE) handled the recording for this album, with sessions taking place at Electrical Audio in Chicago and at Godcity, which Kurt runs. While staying true to their fluid, melodic core, they deliver the heaviest, most metal-leaning approach and riffs of their recent work. Alongside NEUROSIS’s latest album—which marked a stunning comeback—this release is one of the defining albums of 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Borehole\u003cbr\u003e2.Empath\u003cbr\u003e3.Eluvial\u003cbr\u003e4.E2\u003cbr\u003e5.Meridian\u003cbr\u003e6.Arletta\u003cbr\u003e7.Seventh Seal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daymare Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419029692705,"sku":"4988044139329","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988044139329.jpg?v=1788219807","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988044139329","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
