Begin the album with Ramblings of a Stone Man (Effort Part I) a brutal instrumental theme and then continue with the second part Stained Papers (Effort Part II) and you know what is the trend of the album themes like Enviro and Vultures, relaxing and extreme clean and guttural voices quite melody but in the same way always a lot of strength in each composition, make an amalgam between quieter and quieter sounds with the most extreme and rabid. They follow the disc with: A Visible Mass of Vapour the second instrumental of the disc and if in this musical proposal it is the music and what the protagonist transmits beyond letters and voices, they continue with Hollow Earth and Past Apocalyptic Dates.
