Presence

Recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, the album features a stripped-back sound compared to the group's previous layered epics. The opening track, Achilles Last Stand, showcases ambitious interplay between the guitar and drums.

This collection captures the band at a turbulent crossroads, emphasizing a direct and aggressive approach. The sessions moved rapidly, resulting in a project that leans hard into the blues-heavy style defining their output during this era.
