Finally, we have a new album from Astringency, and this is an excellent follow up to their 2017 release, Sanguinarium. Both albums offering more than 60 minutes of top-notch technical melodic death metal. Of Vacant Planes will most certainly be on my Best Of 2020 list at the end of the year.

Damn people, don't overlook this disc! Probably would've been #1 on my list last year had I taken the time to listen to it then. Be forewarned this material is more for the melodic-tech aficionado than anyone else, but I'm pretty sure a lot of groups can relate to parts of this album anyway. Be sure to listen to the link above and track #6 - In Ethereal Sorrow and the last track if you want to hear the best 19-minute instrumental track of the modern age \m/\m/
