The most austere Russian Circles release yet. But in restraint these tracks find new levels of heavy. Nowhere is this more evident than the closing of the third track, "Gnosis". That shit is savage. Absolutely primal. rettisawesome
Wow this album is definitely another complete masterpiece from Distant Dream, and this album art is so gorgeous !!! This album is very well balanced from the very awesome and energic beginning and it goes very smoothly from a song to another until the end !! Congratulations again the amazing album that you have created ! Simon Bastien

Matador's sophomore album picks up from where their debut album left off. But this time guitars are brighter, drums are bigger and when the riffs go big, they 're massive! Intelligent build up and masterfully woven textures, of the kind offered by bands like Russian Circles and O Zorn!. And yet at times they seem to draw on a palette of melodies that ranges from Opeth to A Perfect Circle. Well-executed, ambitious and majestic as all post rock should be, your ears deserve "The Surge" today! Ioannis Valiakos
