It's in the blackgaze genre and if you're not aware of that it's basically a fusion genre between black metal and shoegaze. So it has the raw drums and screamo interlaced with fuzzy guitar riffs and dreary atmosphere.
On paper, it shouldn't work. But somehow Sunbather made it work. This is a piece that just feels cathartic and calming. There are moments that it jolts you out of that state but the guitar riffs and non-stop raw drumming that's constantly trying to build a crescendo feels so much when it drops.
This is an album that you should listen to when you want to try something new and you want to feel a bit cathartic with some black metal.
