I don't hear any similarities between Krallice and Liturgy. Or WITTR and Liturgy. Or Meshuggah or any other band they get compared to as being a hipster version of.
They sound like This Heat s/t, or Neurosis "Times of Grace", or Rhys Chatham, or a Laddio Bolocko track the title of which escapes me. Aside from a couple of moments, the album is riff-free. There's nothing "rock" about it, it's billowy and dynamic. Greg's drumming, to my ears, seems to be the only noticeable joining element between Liturgy's music and metal-- all artwork, manifestos, lyrics and other extra-musical shit aside.
It totally sucks for Liturgy that Greg's left but I look forward to hearing more from Guardian Alien.
