breach are up there with the best of em in the neurosis / isis / cult of luna stakes, not saying that they are the best three, in fact, only neurosis would make it in my top dozen or so in this style, but easier mentioning them guys so you know what we're talking about.
this swedish lot started out a bit more hardcore with 'that' swedish guitar sound, in the vein of refused, nine, entombed, but then disappeared for a bit, and came back all epic n stuff. still sounding essentially like breach, but, bigger, better, more intense, and, well, this album fully does it for me! put 'celestial' back on the shelf, leave it there, in fact hide it behind something else, and listen to this instead.
i saw the line up of breach, entombed and neurosis at bradford rio's a number of years back, it was a monster! did a quick search around, october 2nd 1997 it was. sometimes i am glad to be old!
(alternative version of the cover, never seen this one before, the cd i had was the white cover)
