Enslaved would seem like an obvious comparison, but beyond being Norwegian and imbuing black metal with a progressive bent there is little else in common, and beyond this description there is little unity in the album itself, as the songs are highly varied. Actually, in a way there is unity, as despite the diverse approach, they never lose focus and the album feels like a cohesive whole, never descending into kitchen sink madness, where they simply toss in everything because they can. Even some trippy electronics and a few interludes are expertly composed. Don't be like me and miss out on this fascinating entity.
