Once again a crushing release from the swamp masters. The "competitive" edge of this record is its shortness, which makes it their most focused album yet. As muddy and heavy as a Mega-Swampert.

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Thou albums being really, really good. Summit is their third full-length, and while it stays faithful to the roots of band dating back to Tyrant, the way in which these songs progress is quite different. Things are more fluid, more dedicated to the ebb and flow than ever before without sacrificing the heaviness and intensity that so characterized their early material. Bryan Funck once again puts on a vicious performance, but this time his shouts and screams are accentuated by backing choirs and strings. There's even an interlude with jazz instrumentation that ends the record in "Summit Reprise". Lyrically Thou are as potent as ever with their takes on prevailing social issues, and as venomous as Funck screams them, you can tell that they mean it with every atom in their bodies. It's another in Thou's line of top-tier modern sludge/doom, and if you're a fan of that kind of stuff, Summit must be heard.

The work ethic of Thou never ceases to amaze me: in a mere 4 years as a band, they've put out 21 splits, EPs, and albums, not a single of which is bad. Their 3rd full-length is no exception: the most experimental and unique record of Thou's extensive discography, Summit is the summit (yee) of the band's work thus far. Here's to many more years of constantly pumping out consistently awesome sludge.
