Young God Records
Released: September 23rd, 2010
This album is Awesome in the true sense of the word. Powerful. Soulful. Deep. It really is more of a work of creation/destruction than a musical album.
The buildup of the thunderous guitars and storming of noise in the first song "No Words/No Thoughts" sets up the apocalyptic prophecy to be told here. Quiet interludes are sprinkled amongst the crushing cacophonies. What is true with this song is true for the whole album.
Funeral dirges come to mind. Not of a loved one, but of one that is stumbled upon in a foreign land.
As are folk songs of a long forgotten society.
As are the fever dreams the ill, the hallucinations the mad, and the withdrawals of the addict.
This is Noise.
Awesome.
