- Acta Infernalis
“They’ve not at all pulled back the reigns on the double LP-sized experience of ‘All That Was Promised‘, a more complex and expressive journey through the existentially fraught self which refocuses upon atmosphere and thicker layering as well-chosen points of excess.”
- Grizzly Butts

All That Was Promised follows the 2019 critically acclaimed Willowtip album
Of Rot and Ruin. The band released the following statement concerning the new album:
“All That Was Promised was our first time writing as a 4-piece, and we feel like we’ve further developed who we are as a band. We set out to expand on what we did on our previous releases, experimenting with more varied sounds and new ideas, but we wanted this record to be more direct and cohesive. In the end, we ended up with an album that’s darker and more punishing than we expected.
It’s important to us to grow and learn, but without losing sight of what we do best. The content on this album is more personal and introspective, with songs about enduring change and all the promises made to us in life, broken and otherwise.”
