Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Neurosis guitarist continued his deeply solemn acoustic solo work, channeling profound apocalyptic dread into stark, rustic folk arrangements. His incredibly weathered, gravelly baritone anchors the incredibly sparse, melancholic songs entirely removed from the crushing metallic weight of his primary band.
