I've only had one listen through yet, but ILION is already one of the best things I've ever heard. Actually deserving of the tag "epic," which gets tossed around way too often these days. This band is incredible. The sheer amount of sound and emotion produced by just three people, in such a beautifully skilled, well-written way, is staggering. UMMON and Levitation Sessions blew my mind and launched me into space; ILION took me on an epic quest through oblivion and back again. THANK YOU, SLIFT!
