The tone of the Chicago post-metal band’s first album in six years feels triumphant, like ascending the peak of the mountain that adorns its cover.

Regaining the fast momentum with which they released their early material, the instrumental post-rockers’ ninth LP is defined by a meditative feel coursing through the songs’ proverbial veins.
