The band have revealed a sampling of what you can expect in the below video clip. The video also reveals the album's radiant and psychedelic cover artwork, designed by Luis Garcia, which the band hand-picked stating, " It represented a portrait of Athena, evolved. We want to put focus on Athena with this album. The artwork's evolved nature hopefully represents the same qualities in our music, as we feel like a new band with this album."
The goup's self-titled sophomore effort combines elements of their acclaimed epic prog shred soud with a fresh blend of psyschedlic drone and ambient samplings. The album was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou (Every Time I Die, Converge, Kvelertak) at GodCity Studios, while being co-produced and engineered by Travis Kammeyer (Storm of Light) and mastered by Alan Douches (Baroness, The Dillinger Escape Plan).
