Of the track the band issues, "'Call To The Waves' is the impulse to disregard the banal responsibilities and stresses of our daily lives and just sink into the deep waters. Quit your job, abandon your family, discard your possessions, and jump."
Cvlt Nation said, "Pain is glorious, torment is beautiful, sorrow is golden, riffs drenched in dirge, mourning is solace - just some of the thoughts that come to mind as I listen to the new BARREN ALTAR LP Entrenched In The Faults Of The Earth..."Weep to the sounds of "Call To The Waves" at THIS LOCATION.
