32. Dawn of Ouroboros - "Bioluminescence"

Another album that superbly balances light and dark. The album is named after the chemical reaction that occurs within living organisms to produce light, and that absolutely aptly describes the process they are undertaking. The heaviness is here to offset the moments of melodic beauty. The brutality exists for us to all more embrace the moment of calm and fragile joy. Whilst indeed complex and intricate, it is also an incredibly cohesive and well-constructed record. Everything counterbalances everything else; it feels like a unified whole as opposed to a collection of disparate tracks.
