This album sees SSoS settle into their peak of creativity with an absolutely monolithic slab of disgustingly heavy sludge. Death metal influences enable the band pick up the tempo at times to contrast the swamp-wading sludge that makes up the meat of the album, and it makes for an enthralling listen. If being hit over the head with riffs and some of the nastiest vocals in the genre sounds appealing, that is.. More essential bludgeoning sludgeoenings and worship of the highest and most almighty, the riff.
