• “Vitskär Süden's debut was one of my favorite albums of 2020. After spending a week curled up with their follow-up, I can confidently say that it is even better. It's not as immediate as the predecessor, but the songs keep unfolding and opening with each listen, and the end result is a thing of beauty and joy. In other words: this is really really goddamned great.”

• “Logen Ninefingers pretty much summed it up: "Analogous with 'Animals' era Pink Floyd... though heavier & more nocturnal." Apologies for the edit, I'm not familiar with the other example, but this one is so apt, it makes my face ache from smiling. I used to, when I was a young, drug abusing teen, want to die while listening to Animals. Now that I'm older and much closer to that reality, I'd be okay with passing off quietly to this album, this band. Long live Vitskär Süden.”

• “Stating that "they never disappoint" might be a but premature as it's only their 2nd album together, but i somehow can't see them recording anything not great ;)”

• “A perfect prog doom album, everything I want out of a band. Each track blends well, telling the story of the Faceless King.”
