The second album from this Austin foursome suggests they thought their doomy, Sabbath—drenched grooves could have somehow used more wailing guitars. Opener "The Sundering" starts with a quietly fingerpicked intro, then cranks the amps up to 1972, and the chugga—chugga lasts all the way until the thunderous closing duo, "The Black River" and "The White Sea," a two—headed celebration of excess. Let the indie kids smirk at the bombast —metal glee this pure can't be ironic.
