On their second album, the Siberian metal quartet Below the Sun prove they can craft riffs heavy enough to crush a planet ("Release") yet can also pull off feats of great technical dexterity, shoving an almost absurd amount of time-signature changes, blast beats, and sharp notes into their expansive compositions ("Blind Ocean"). But while the group worship at the doom altar, they also navigate breathtaking melodic passages reminiscent of Pink Floyd ("Mirrors"), calm moments that make the storm hit harder.
