REZN’s sixth album, “Cycles In The Infinite Dream”, receives an 8.5/10 review for pushing stoner rock and doom metal beyond familiar riff-based conventions. The review argues that the Chicago band combine heavy, fuzzy guitar work with space rock, shoegaze, post-rock and psychedelic elements, creating music that is both forceful and atmospheric.

Across its nine tracks, the album is praised for Rob McWilliams’s ethereal, distinctive vocals and for arrangements featuring saxophone, cello, pedal steel and synthesiser textures. Highlights include the expansive “Rites of Passage”, the doom-to-saxophone shift of “Transient”, the post-rock climax of “Cloudfall”, and the lengthy cosmic closer “Terra Preta”; the reviewer presents the record as REZN’s most ambitious and accomplished work.
