"Sharpen" represents the second studio album by the technical death metal ensemble ASYLUM. This compilation features thirteen contemplative pieces that explore a wide range of subjects, including contemporary societal challenges, mental health, developmental stages of life, and psychedelic experiences. The overarching aim of the album is to promote self-improvement, which is reflected in its title, "Sharpen". The creative process spanned four years, a fact that is evident in the profound depth and intricate texture of each composition. Much like a gourmet dish or an exquisite artwork, "Sharpen" satisfies even the most discerning musical tastes, showcasing a diverse array of genre-defying elements. This music transcends the conventional boundaries of modern technical metal, deeply resonating within the listener's subconscious.
