This Philly band was part of the second wave of "post-metal" bands, along with Mouth of the Architect, Minsk, and the like. They took the blueprint developed by Isis, Neurosis, and Cult of Luna, and created their own take on it. This is their second album, which is less heavy than their debut The Galilean Satellites, but more melodic and better written overall. Don't take that to mean this isn't heavy, though; the crescendos in "Red in Tooth and Claw" still makes me want to start breaking things.
