Realms of the Metaphysical is an album by New Zealander stoner rock group Arc of Ascent, released on April 9. Almost forty seven minutes long, the record has six tracks: Set the Planets Free, Eye of Sages, Hexagram, In the Light, Benediction Moon and Temple Stone. A lot more fascinating than other albums of the genre – perhaps by virtue of the excellent and overwhelming vocals of Craig Williamson, since instrumental stoner generally can be very monotonous –, Realms of the Metaphysical is a very interesting, elevating and superior record. Abrasive guitar lines, conspicuous lancinating notes, a crude savagery and an overwhelming sense of security incorporates into the work a concept of completeness, that really inserts into the music elements of imponderable intricacy and demise. 

The melodies are, indeed, pervasively fascinating, wonderfully exploratory and well-designed. With a vigorous and genuine creative layout, Realms of the Metaphysical was conceived to be a more fluid and ostensibly vivid stoner album, with conspicuous guitar lines that dilates and dissipates ostentatiously sonorous underworlds of expansive delusion, and remarkably lucid monumental digressions.  

With an underlined sound that progressively becomes more sensitive and evaporated, the album has a consistent and projective sonorous nucleus, that interchangeably interacts with all the elements of its natural cohesion of primarily higher musical components. Way more inventive and creative than what is usually testified in the stoner rock genre, Arc of Ascent dilapidates several new frontiers to the wider principles that dictates the general pace of the music, and the final result couldn’t have been better. 

A gracious album, with a spirituous element of intense and meticulous ordination, Realms of the Metaphysical doesn’t disappoint. Full of qualities, and displaying a formidable degree of audacity, this record manages to be way more evolved, responsive and dynamic than other works of the genre. With a devotional and salutary dedication, the band managed to conceive a solid, intelligent and remarkable record, that deserves to be highlighted as a genuine pearl of stoner rock.
