How is it possible for a band to use so many artifices already worked by other bands, and yet sound so unique? Vulture Industries must be the most perfect example for an answer. Considering Metal as a sort of soup, this album would be filled with weird ingredients, generating a thick mixture of symphony, experimental, progressive, doom and black elements, but so properly distributed that the taste is not compromised. Leaving to us listeners solely the pleasant avant-garde sweet flavor.

"Normality is slavery. Be Abnormal! Be Free!"

I think this quotation from the band's song speaks far more about this album than I any words I could ever put.

A strong quote indeed, especially in time of the "new normal". I approve the whole of it, starting from "With all of my heart I forsake the term normality...". I wasn't aware metal bands convey such meaningful messages to listeners.
