This album will make waves because it is going to divide audiences based on who will give it a chance and who will categorically ignore it; this, like trolling, is the pure provocation that forms a necessary part of Art as opposed to Entertainment. The album possesses a fatal flaw, but makes up for it with some of the more interesting experiments within the notion of doom — dark, melancholic, sentimental, but not self-pitying — sounds, going beyond metal and rock in composition.

In nature, populations improve when a small group breaks away, develops new traits, and then is partially or completely absorbed by the original group, spreading those beneficial traits to the whole group. Heavy metal is now absorbing death metal and black metal through power metal.
