Blending an array of musical styles from black metal like Satyricon and Dissection and with a large dose of death metal mixed in, including later-era Death, The Spirit channels sonics that are going to be quite familiar to many listeners. With this, they also bridge over genre boundary lines to compose something that is really fascinating and attention grabbing. Each of the songs is a journey for the listener. The Spirit are able to hit that difficult sweet spot where black, death and prog all intersect in a way that isn't over-complicated. They aren't trying to cram too much in their songs and that's one of the key reasons why it all works.

With all the terrible things that are happening here on earth one might be more inclined to look up at the stars and wonder if a better reality might be found up above the clouds. Perhaps even a universe filled with nothingness might be a more acceptable alternative to the war, pestilence and disease that keeps ravaging our own planetary home. These provocative themes of the cosmos, and the vast vacuum of space are paramount in The Spirit's third full-length record, Of Clarity and Galactic Structures.
