This so full. Full of... I think that's individual, but I feel my heart expand with it—perhaps a surprising description given how earnestly dark and heavy it is.
Rhythm and repitition at the sweet spot for sludge that is both dizzying and hypnotic...
...Like someone took @Nic Brown's tar, rolled it, smoked it into more of this, and took to the wheel of a steamroller while someone else was being baptised in boiling tar... A
AOTY for me
Paradoxically, this is such a soft and soothing album. The way the guitars and synth are EQed and mixed create a plush, warm blanket of emotion. When I listen to the melodies and chord progressions, I feel a sense of security and respite. This is solace reified in sonic form. This is an immersion in painfully hot yet relaxing water. This is safety found within the unknown. This is...heavenly form honestly. One man's hell is another man's heaven I guess. benmoshin
