A crushingly heavy and beautifully melancholy piece of traditional style Doom Metal, 'Sorrow And Extinction' reveals more layers with each listen, paradoxically becoming an uplifting, transcedent experience. Brett's incredible vocals, soaring above the twin guitar melodies and megalithic doom riffs, give the LP a uniqueness and confidence rarely found in a band on their first LP. Pitchfork's #1 metal album of 2012.
