Not much to say concerning this release. Vulpecula are a U.S. black/death/thrash project arising from ex-members of Order From Chaos and Nepenthe. Nice aggressive riffs incorporated with strong synths produce a stalwart affect in a prevalent astronomical theme. The music is very dark and raw, giving off a strong atmospheric vibe which unfortunately largely overshadows some great songwriting.

Very progressive and powerful, but unfortunately this is only an mCD (or 10") and it ends way too quickly. An environment that begins to absorb has suddenly disappeared, leaving the listener with a feeling of emptiness.... A lot of potential here that is worth seizing, but only if the price is right.
