Sannhet: "Revisionist"

Even the most open-minded listeners can only make so much room for instrumental metal in their lives. It’s understandable: the lack of a vocalist can make it difficult to forge an emotional connection if you’re unconcerned with mad skillz, and so many supposed “crossover” acts just sound like heavier versions of Explosions in the Sky.
