    While I could agree with Staubin I cannot disagree with Qrobur and I dare say Poseidonaskwhy is on crack. It's ok. It reminds me of **** Up acting like Andrew WK acting like, seriously- who the **** *is* Andrew WK??? That guy....

    Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me is fuelled by issues addressed in Jeremy Bolm's furiously screamed, raw and sometimes, frustratingly po-faced vocals. [Aug. 2011, p. 119]

    This is a staggering album, one that leaves you bruised, bloody and breathless. [11 Jun 2011, p.52]

    It's evident from the musicianship, from the instrumentation, from the lyrics, and from the vocal delivery that Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me is a record of progression and refinement; released halfway through 2011, it will go down among the best of the heavy hitters this year.
