Closing track Closure is exactly that, yet it also feels like the band's defining statement. In an increasingly crowded genre where originality can be difficult to achieve, Mountainscape have carved out a sound that feels unmistakably their own. Richly orchestrated, emotionally resonant and endlessly uplifting, it's a piece that genuinely lives up to the album's title, you quite literally feel like you do traverse realms.

With Iridescent, Mountainscape have leveled up yet again. Iridescent is an album that balances scales and emotion, where atmosphere doesn’t soften the blows but makes them land harder. The band prove that instrumental metal just needs a vision, and in that respect, they’ve delivered it in spades
