Peasant

The sophomore album from the incredibly prolific Baton Rouge doom collective is a terrifyingly bleak, suffocating testament to Southern sludge metal. Characterized by agonizingly slow, earth-shaking guitar riffs and Bryan Funck's harrowing, shrieked vocal diatribes regarding deep anti-capitalism and existential misery. The sheer volume and unrelenting hopelessness of the record firmly established them as modern heavy metal titans.
