Label: Robotic Empire Records

Price: 16.99 Euro

Recorded throughout the turn of the decade, Thou deliver another potent 40 minutes of triumphant doom-laden sludge fury. Atypical heavyness to say the least, the ultra-crushing sound Thou has become known for is subtly enhanced by unique elements ala piano, atmospheric noise, horns, double bass, and several re-envisioned cover songs for keen ears to decipher. Along with otherwise unreleased "Summit"-era material, this lengthy EP contains Thou's original half of the now-postponed split release with Pygmy Lush, oddly inspiring the band to then cover two tracks by their collaborators' latest work. It's all spice added to the overall stunning effect of a truly visionary band; intelligent commentary atop six massive tracks of absolutely bludgeoning music. Comes on color vinyl housed in a beautiful spot-glossed "tip-on" classic style gatefold LP jacket, this is yet another brick in Thou's ever-strengthening wall of spite and menace.
