a perfect showcase for extreme technical mastery, but unlike almost every other band at this level, the complexity and skill is not the point at all, everything is so focused on expression, emotion, energy... Converge is untouchable Giles
This is sort of my reintroduction to Zao, after leaving off when they released 'Awake?' I am still getting to know the album, but it is intense, and I do enjoy it quite a lot. Autumn Amelia Sinclaire
Such a good mix of Hardcore breakdowns coupled with insane fast paced death metal. This album encompasses everything that's good about extreme metal. I loved every track but the brutality of Ethereal Emptiness still sticks. This is defiantly a must own. MetalHealth
