Anagnorisis is back after a ten-year absence. During this time, frontman Zachery Kerr acted as the caregiver for his father-in-law, which served as the creative catalyst for Caregriever (Negative Reflections). In processing the emotions connected to watching the terminal decline of a family member, it transitioned to a bleak sonic display of this more organic experimental direction. The darkness presented here is much more real and honest than Black Metal bands that dressed things up in obligatory occult fashion, appropriating belief systems they are immersed in. This dark emotional honesty is what gives this album its heaviness.
Sadgiqacea harness the power of legendary bands such as Isis and Neurosis but match it with the sludgy progressive genius riffs that would make Mastodon and Baroness proud to call their own. That is only half the story as Sadgiqacea adds ambient style noises to the mix along with a dose of gloomy reality.
