What a creative and unique EP from David! I love the intricacy and level of detail in the soundscape so much. There's always something for my ear to catch each time I visit this release. This is one of his more underrated releases, in my opinion. Great job, David! :D Erkadur
Djent is a tired genre and why this is exactly, I'm unsure of. It does, however, still have its moments -- Astraeus, for example. Perhaps it's an obsession with creating interesting riffs and compelling song structures, whereas other djent bands focus on, 'how heavy can we get'. Mirrors boasts a sort of stream of consciences element, exploring a theme and moving on seamlessly with many songs blending into the next.
I also greatly appreciate the inclusion of an instrumental version.
Be Djentle.

Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching. Alice M.
