Review by Christian Bir

The Farthest Reaches is the second full-length album by Son of Aurelius, a technical death metal band from California. The album was released in 2014, and it features nine tracks of brutal and intricate music that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills.

The album opens with "The Weary Wheel," a fast-paced and complex track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The guitars are sharp and precise, and the drumming is thunderous and precise. The vocals are also impressive, with frontman Josh Miller showcasing his range and versatility throughout the album.

Other standout tracks on The Farthest Reaches include "Let Them Hate and Fear," which features some of the most intricate guitar work on the album, and "Clouded Panes," which is a slower, more atmospheric track that showcases the band's ability to create a mood with their music.
