The Impassable Horizon

Prog Metal with a touch of tech death, really there's not much here I'm not too already unfamiliar with. Compositionally and thematically this does feel a bit like every other death-flavored Prog Metal act you've got. The Opeth influences are strong on songs like "A Clockwork Expectation". What really elevates this album for me are the King Crimson-flavored songs that feature Saxophone. The aforementioned song plus "Withering Snowdrops", "Black Sails of Melancholia" and "A Cosmological Arch" are the tracks I found to utilize this style expertly.

While the band wears their influences on their sleeves quite a bit, and it doesn't do much outside of the box, I still found myself enjoying it quite a bit and I absolutely would throw this on when I'm in a heavy proggy mood.
