'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress'

Developed from a single long-form live composition, 'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress' is a concise and focused work, marking the first album of entirely new material since the band's reformation. It structures two immense, riff-heavy compositions around a central pairing of visceral, ambient drone pieces, creating a dynamic and volatile soundscape. The recording captures the band's signature intensity through huge unison riffs, soaring string counterpoints, and militaristic drumming, notably omitting the field recordings and spoken-word samples of their previous work for a more direct and sonically saturated approach.
