4.5 superb | Alabaster Jones | May 24th 17 | Aside from their self-titled debut, I Shall Die Here is probably the closest The Body will ever get to conventional drone-doom and sludge metal. Make no mistake however, their fourth full-length isn't your father's drone/doom/sludge, and while it is not quite as dynamic as records like All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood or No One Deserves Happiness, it is the most atmospherically and perhaps the most thematically potent record the band has penned yet. At it's very core, the record is an absolutely hopeless, very oppressive, and often suicidal doom metal album. Everything sounds humongous, especially the thunderous drumming of Lee Buford, and Chip King's banshee-like wailing has never sounded more appropriate. In keeping some of the strange noisy elements and other weird electronics and adding deeper and harsher vocals as well putting some well-placed strings sporadically throughout the album, the album isn't bogged down by being too skeletal or predictable. The atmosphere is like a massive paperweight of lost hope and painful darkness continuously crashing down upon the listener, only letting up to raise the tension skyward. It's a marvelously done record from The Body, and by this point it's impossible to expect anything less.

3.0 good | StrangerofSorts EMERITUS | February 11th 14 | It would be really, really, really good if it didn't have to be so fucking melodramatic. Krlic should have been more brutal in showing how it's actually done.

3.5 great | Gene Gol CONTRIBUTOR | March 18th 24 | Album almost unnecessarily ugly (in a good way), but as far as metal deconstruction goes, pretty sweet and gnarly. I am left somewhat tired by the end, though, not by its relentlessness but just repetition and stylistic stubbornness.
