On the day of my birthday last year, Spire announced that they would release Temple Of Khronos, "a swirling vortex of howling madness, chaos, choral hysteria, heavy riffs, and alien soundscapes". While most of the time claims like this one prove unfounded when albums are actually released, in this particular case the band's evaluation of their own music couldn't be more accurate.

Eccentric vocals ranging from experimental epic heavy metal, sludgy doom growls, depressive black, chanting, to somber gothic/doom. Wish I could've gotten the limited edition vinyl to hear those glorious blast beats at max.

Sounds a bit disjointed to be honest. It clearly has their signature but the whole thing does not sound coherent.
I much rather listening to their enthropy.

Psychedelic doom undertones with varied and experimental vocals is perfectly suited for black metal's continuous progression beyond the rigid structures of its origins and I'm here for it.

Esoteric gone black metal.

It kills me whenever someone calls this band atmospheric black metal.
