Like De Vermis Mysteriis, this album somehwat deviates from the straight ahead High on Fire of yore which is this album's greatest strength and weakness. This is the kind of album that grows on you. DOOM
Certainly on the mellower side of instrumental post-metal, almost bordering on post-rock, perfect for when you want something heavy but chill. Beautiful, consistent yet varied, definitely recommended!
PS — Evidently this just went nyp, so grab it while you can… MJ
