debut album from composer Bear McCreary. been a huge fan of his work on Foundation, and there's a lot of good/interesting stuff here. a stacked guest lineup spanning tons of influences, with most rooted in metal. my biggest criticism of this is his brother's work, as i find his voice kind of irritating. hoping an instrumental version follows because the music is fantastic.

 

Listening to this now and it's pretty cool. I wish more projects like this existed. Makes me think of the Neverending White Lights albums, even though it sounds nothing like that. But just the same idea of bringing a group of varied musicians together for one rockin' project.
