Boasting a two and a half writing process and mixing/mastering, 'Lost Empyrean' serves as a soundtrack. With a molten foundation likening early Baroness, Pelican and Isis and the atmospheric permutations of the later, Neurosis and modern Killing Joke, Dirge forge a sonic landscape that both swells and breathes with lush and delicate passages while brutally pummeling with emotive, heavy riffs.
