𝖙𝖜𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖉𝖘𝖔𝖓𝖔𝖋𝖜𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖔𝖓 Bestial. Grim. Uplifting dirges of the heaviest order. A must have for fans of this genre. This is epic sludge doom, drifting into blackened realms with this release but not losing any of the substance that their death metal chops bring. The intent behind their music is powerful and maintains the cogency of their narratives over lengthy songs. Favorite track: Enshrined in Indissoluble Chains and Enlightened Darkness.

about

German sludge/doom overlords Eremit return after releasing a fantastic EP in last year's 'Desert of Ghouls' which acted as a bridge between the band's earth-shatteringly heavy debut full length and the follow-up album which is definitely a progression. The band doesn't shy away from writing epic songs averaging 20 minutes, with the longest one being almost half an hour long but that's where they excel - they're masters of meticulous songwriting and this genre provides them with the framework they need to narrate their mythical tales around which each album is designed. There's a pronounced blackened touch on this one which adds diversity to their deafeningly heavy sludge/doom sound and there are many twists and turns that one will realize upon immersing oneself into the world of Eremit. Everything has a meaning, a purpose. Not a single riff is out of place. It should be evident from Eremit's subsequent releases that the band is only going from strength to strength and evolving where it deems necessary, and the listener is always in for a fascinating, heart-pounding experience. 

For fans of - Conan, Jupiterian, Subterraen, 71TonMan, Primitive Man, Eyehategod, Grief
