Their new record, Where Myth Becomes Memory, is a grand display of immaculate musicianship, intricate songwriting, and raw emotion. There is a consistent theme throughout the record which is accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful grand piano. The attention to detail in the recording is astonishing, as you can hear the individual cadence of each key being pressed in. The album feels like a living, breathing work of art.

Throughout Where Myth Becomes Memory, you find Rolo Tomassi moving through elements of mathcore, post-metal, prog, classical, ambient and experimental. The band can be broadly described as progressive metal, and specifically defined as experimental mathcore.
