As compared to Ad Nauseam, Ylem is relatively easy listening, and as compared to Archspire and First Fragment, this album is somewhat subtle, which is an admittedly odd description of technical death metal in the vein of Gorguts and Ulcerate, but is nonetheless a compliment. I love the 2021 releases from the the first three aforementioned bands, but sometimes you need to dial back the excess and tell a story with (relatively) more breathing room. Sunless is one of the big ones now! Ippocalyptica
I found this band because they share a singer with Afterbirth, who released the best tech death record of the past couple years. I must say: he has good taste, as this is right up my alley and may even rival Afterbirth. dcdirkzwager
