Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the first collaboration with producer Steve Albini, 'Times of Grace' is a pivotal album that captures the band's atmospheric sludge and post-metal sound with an organic and immersive weight. A defining work of the genre, its labyrinthine compositions balance monolithic heaviness with cinematic textures, incorporating elements of gothic and progressive rock alongside a wide instrumental array. Uniquely, the album was conceived to be played in synchronization with 'Grace,' an ambient companion piece by the band's alter-ego, Tribes of Neurot, creating a layered, multi-dimensional listening experience.
