#nowplaying The Sleeping City by An Abstract Illusion, because it’s @yourfutureex’s AOTY.
So far I like it, but there’s a lot going on. Might have to listen a few times to appreciate it.

The Sleeping City The Sleeping City, AN ABSTRACT ILLUSION’s third full-length album, utilizes their unique blend of progressive death metal and black metal with arpeggiating synths, wistful drones and vast soundscapes, harkening back to the era of 80’s sci-fi soundtracks. Being the band’s most atmospheric and heavy work to date, the album explores the depths of the human psyche and suffering. A decrepit yet monumental landmark, the sleeping city awaits ahead. Will you enter?
