A very dark sounding intro starts off the album along with some soundscapes and synths before going into more of a heavier and dissonant direction. Spoken words can also be heard briefly while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are angry sounding black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while some of the riffing also shows an influence of death metal. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the recording also having its atmospheric moments as well as the solos and leads also sticking to a dissonant style when they are utilized and a couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length. Clear singing and clean playing can also be heard briefly and one song also adds in a brief use of spoken words. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the darkest corners of the human mind.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sisyphean and if you are a fan of atmospheric and dissonant black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Point In The Abyss" "Hunting For Answers" and "Sangfroid". 8 out of 10.
