With the fresh new mix by Greg Norman and remastering by Josh Bonati, the deluxe edition brings a clarity and punch to the recordings that highlight the interplay between each member.

The rhythm section of bassist Bryan Herweg and drummer Larry Herweg shines more brightly, bolstering the intricate melodicism and interlocking riffing between guitarists Trevor Shelley de Brauw and Laurent Schroeder-lebec. The more articulate presentation of the album showcases the power of each individual player while buttressing Pelican’s distinct sound as a unified force.

The full force of the album’s increased sonic heft is evinced in today’s release of album standout “March to the Sea,” whose new mix/master, an essential epic in the band's catalog which embraces the darker tropes of metal and twists them into knottier, more nuanced webs.
