Neither do I, it sounds like a natural evolution of their sound. It's miles ahead of Varuna, and more layered than the tracks on Shrine. Perfect...
This is excellent, definitely a level up for the band. I'm hearing a heavy Thrice influence, which is great, but also hoping this is the tone...
New song is excellently written and well produced. This band is going to make waves, soon enough. Closer To didn't get the attention it...
This should be getting a lot more attention on here, it's quite good. It reminded me a lot of Gatherers last album, mutilator, maybe not as...
I really appreciate the restraint shown on this, but it needs time to sink its claws into me, of which I will give it.

Given the pitchfork ratings of their prior albums, specifically NMG's 8.0, I inferred S/T was going to come close, but not exceed NMG. On the...
IMO, Ian Cohen is a steward for rock music and one of the only semi-mainstream music critics who writes thought-provoking reviews. This had a...
Yes, no chance less than 7. 7.6 or 7.8, I'd be surprised if it topped NMG's 8.0.
Ian Cohen all over the album. He'll be submitting a review.
The album is abrasive, chaotic, and dissonant - It's not immediately accessible. I won't know how I feel about it for weeks, but that's the...
