The sludge metal supergroup, featuring members of Converge and Isis, balances their immense, down-tuned aggression with sweeping stretches of cinematic dark ambient noise. The punishingly heavy riffing is frequently interspersed with eerie vocal samples and atmospheric tension, showcasing their mastery of dynamic post-metal contrast.
