huge step up from their prior work. every single song on this has a moment where it just grips you and doesn't let go.

Exciting proof that „blackened something post“ can still be exciting and touching in 2023. If I already liked the debut, I love this record!
Favorite track: Enterprise (1st November 2004).

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight

There's nothing quite like this. Veering from catastrophically heavy doom to terrifying experimental sci-fi black metal, this gets better with every listen. Absolutely on another planet. DoomBlogMan
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
The San Francisco quartet’s latest effort takes their post-metal to atmospheric new heights, with a resultant sound bordering on the transdimensional. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 20, 2018

I was tipped off to this project by the ever cool beans @reposerecords because I was looking for suggestions in the somewhat esoteric request of music which *wasn't* "blackened hardcore" – which tends to lean on the dumber chuddier end of the latter genre, but *was* "black metal by people who are or were hardcore kids", as that seems to me an ideal combination of righteous anger *and* very unlikely to be stupid little crybaby nationalists. I think we're on to a winner. Luke
