This second full length from Cork, Ireland's, Altar of Plagues brings an atmospheric black metal gem. With extended songs the band is able to cover plenty of ground and seamlessly blend black metal, post rock and ambient into a cohesive whole that draws you in and keeps you listening. The inclusion of a vocal lament by an elderly woman in a funerary custom during the third track adds to the weight of this listen. The mood is set early and captivates on this impressive release.
Tracklist :
1 Neptune is Dead
2 Feather and Bone
3 When the Sun Drowns in the Ocean

Nothing encourages me more to comment on a post than the cover of your albums--especially on this hot, hazy, and sunny day!
