They've evolved to play a form of blackened sludge with a dissonant edge. Their music on the new album is riff-driven through and through; without wasting time on ambience or buildup, they go straight for the jugular and leave things filthy. The music is mind-numbingly heavy yet catchy and direct, making it highly effective and memorable. To balance the blackened spite dripping from the well-enunciated vocals, the music includes atmospheric elements and possesses emotional depth. The album doesn't drag on and seems to end sooner than later but only after exploring various aspects of their sound that keep it engrossing and thoroughly satisfying. "Abyssal Womb" is a fine representation of the style, having a sublime sound and faultless execution, and more importantly, it will stay with you long after the album is over.

We wanted to update some of our older songs on this EP; these songs mark some of the most important musical moments of us as a band. We have the first instances of dissonance in our music and the seeds of our melancholic and atmospheric leanings; we have brutal passages and rare instances of melody. It was really eye opening to realise that all the influences were there all along! Some of these songs have never been properly released and exist only as live videos captured at our shows. We wanted to add Soulthirst EP to this release since 2026 marks the 10 year anniversary for that release. Soulthirst functions as the bridge between all of our older material and our current sound, which we fully unleashed on Ash Blind in 2022." Line up - Okko Tolvanen – Drums Sebastian Frigren – Guitars, backing vocals Antti Poutanen – Bass, backing vocals Riku Saressalo – Vocals Artwork by Niilas Nissilä

At once scathing and stirring, the sharp, insistent riffs go hand in hand with elegant melodies that never outstay their welcome. The aggression and poignancy is beautifully managed with plenty of variations provided to highlight those emotions at the right times. After experiencing the turmoil of life, the aching pain in the melodies is all too palpable. "No Plenitude Without Suffering" is a heartfelt, meticulously put together, pristine-sounding debut from a veteran musician that is bound to stand the test of time if only on the basis of the sheer quality of melodies contained within. For fans of - Dissection, Naglfar, Sacramentum, Unanimated, Thulcandra, Stortregn, Dyssebeia Line up - Romain Negro (ex-Stortregn) - Vocals, Songwriting Merlin Bogado (Dyssebeia) - Session Guitars & Bass Nicolas Muller (Akiavel) - Session Drums Cover artwork by Romain Negro
