Probably the heaviest album I've heard this year, Ommadon have really laid it on thick this time, adding heaps of savage, almost catchy riffage to their noisy, atmospheric drone doom. Pulverising drums abound beneath thick, grizzled layers of guitar, resulting in a more abstract (but no less accessible) take on the heavy, apocalyptic doom attempted earlier this year on the sorely underrated Brothers of the Sonic Cloth album (the two records share the same sound engineer, so it's no surprise that they are so sonically similar). These extended jams may tread slightly more predictable paths than previous Ommadon records, or conversely you could argue that they flow more naturally, but regardless of which way you look at it their sound has certainly been beefed up and it's that which makes this record the best of theirs that I've heard yet. Highly recommended to anybody with a passing interest in extreme metal, particularly of the drone/doom variety.
Also, that's one of the best album covers of the year, probably second only to Future's DS2.
Listening to this again, because it's damn good. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
