With a lot of sharp, arpeggiated melodies and crushing rhythms, Mirar's thallish stylistic signature is omnipresent in Ascension. While unmistakeably influenced by the guitar perversions of Buster Odeholm, Mirar have put together a sinister and surprisingly accessible (by their own standards) release to kickstart 2025. The atmospheres achieved in this album are unmatched, satisfying, and confrontingly heavy, delivered with a thall-y dissonance and uncertainty that compliments the modal choices and results in a strange sojourn through a vividly hellish struggle.
