Style: technical progressive groovy heavy metal
already named as kings of the early naughties metal resurgence, Atlanta's celebrated quartet returns with even more open-minded, diverse and convincing record [2006], blending vintage speedy metal riffage, stoner rock's sludgy power, and prog's vision and scope; melody matters here as much as ill-natured mayhem, while the treacherous tempo shifts are navigated brilliantly by drummer Brann Dailor; album's concept is built around the idea of being lost and doomed, it also features vocal guest appearance by Scott Kelly [Neurosis]; recent European marble green vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric inner sleeve
