Invisible Oranges says regarding “Carrion Tide” and “Illusive Golden Age”:
“Canadian tech-death quartet Augury has been silent for nine years, lying cautiously in wait, ready to pounce at the most opportune moment. Now, the time is nigh: Illusive Golden Age, their upcoming third full-length, strikes with all the brain-bending riffs, layered blasts, and harrowing growls associated with their name.”
“Its focal points include the opening blast chorus and resulting vocal ascensions, not the dizzying guitar calisthenics or spasmodic drumming which instead serve more as structure than anything else. That said, Augury tactically dole out aggression half-way through the song, but then the anger disperses into the ether with a wild solo’s lead-in to soft, jazzy playing. Opting not to charge like a locomotive, the band pirouettes delicately instead, without sacrificing any of the hard steel. The talent lies in how to shift so much mass so quickly and accurately without fat-fingering it. “Cumbersome” is not a word in Augury’s dictionary; instead, “Carrion Tide” (and the rest of Illusive Golden Age) is entirely lean and clean.”
