Modern, solar, intense and innovative Black Metal. If you're a defender of trve black Metal, this is not for you (maybe in some years). But if you're open minded enough it'll interest you. In any case Liturgy won't let you indifferent. I let you watch an excellent review by Anthony Fantano

Something new, creative and a little more human in a Hardcore scene that doesn't interest me at all. The final offering of Breach is honestly a revelation, a masterpiece. If I could, I would force all visitors of this blog to listen to this album. Essential...

Very good 2011's discovery, and the presence of a female singer is still unusual in this kind of music. I advise you to watch the video clip.

It's rough and druggy but in the same time methodical, repetitive and industrial; The kind of music that crush your brain. Personally I like the noise, psychedelic, complex and strange side of this concept. But it's still rather abstract...

A Clarion Call

Comment:
Monumental, majestic, refined ... qualifiers aren't lacking to define this impression of omnipresent power. A solitary violin opens the album with a mournful sadness, then moved a foggy, morbid and epic atmosphere. Haunting Funeral Doom with mesmerizing melodies for fans of Skepticism and Disembowlement.
An indisputable reference.

Comment:
This is the single album of a deceased band. This music is a cruise in a kind of progressive metal, navigating between dirty doom, ultra obscure post-rock (remind me Neurosis), the breaks are almost drone and the atmospheres stinks the end of the world. The atmosphere! The word is out! Behind this musical recount, the post-rock and dilapidated side of theire music, The Gault offer an icy and iced music, on the bottom frankly near to Dolorian. I would say that The Gault is for the Doom what In the Wood is for the Black Metal.
Download it, buy, but above all, listen to it.
