The band's third album, 2017's Where Owls Know My Name, was their most successful album in terms of media coverage and recognition, and not casually. Most of the tracks move to a C#-minor-based route in the vein of Gothic/Doom Metal acts like Stormlord, My Dying Bride and even Enter Shikari, as the instrumentation includes less palm-muted violence and more musicality, including soothing string keyboards and (!) sax lines, both as a texture for the backdrop and dissonant. “Subtle Change (Including the Forest of Transition and Dissatisfaction Dance) ” includes dizzying electric organ notes, jumpy Rush-like breakdowns and orchestrations that recall prime Emperor, and the rest of the cuts follows the same epic route, adding for an album that lasts almost an hour in duration. Though once again there's a bit of repetitiveness that hampers its quality, the album remains consistent like the previous.

Highlights: “Subtle Change (Including the Forest of Transition and Dissatisfaction Dance) ”, “Capricorn / Agoratopia ”.
