OF SPIRE & THRONE “Penance” /Digipack CD/

The second full-length studio album by British Doom/Sludge Metal band.
One of the finest Progressive Sludge/Doom bands return. Three years after their crushing and harrowing debut, "Sanctum In The Light", Penance drops as an early Yule present and leaves a huge crater.
Of Spire & Throne have been chipping the same few down-tuned fragments of riff off the Doom coal-face at the end of the same dank and airless tunnel since 2009. And they have no plans to resurface. It’s generally hard to think of anything meaningful. They have a chosen broad area they explore, and they do it so damned well it hurts.
But if you don’t get on with the more Extreme edges of Sludge, then they are not for you. This is not easy music in the least. This will scrape out the insides of your brain. This echoes through bones and churns stomachs, and keeps sucking you down into the tar, and then sets you adrift only to crush you again. Capture and release. Mentally, this is tough. But so worth it. So very worth it! Again, just superb!!
