Finnish post-metal/atmospheric sludge/whatever roundabout way you have of saying "it sounds like they decided to start a band based on their love for Oceanic." What an obnoxiously specific subgenre this was.

Their precise, crushing riffs are enlivened by a gift for composition, as well as some well-placed cello, saxophone, and guest vocals.
