Overall, the composer here who shall remain anonymous raises the roof here with "Empathica" to impossible heights. He is very structured in the way he composes the music but that is nearly preposterous when you consider the amount of layers he uses along with the sheer number of different instruments. Gorgeous melodies abound...to the point that is nearly overwhelms you. I haven't been moved by an album like this so far in 2020, and at nearly half way through the year it has to be mentioned as a contender for album of the year. 10/10 - www.metal-temple.com
