I watch the lakes of beautiful melancholy
Glorious is the day of their birth
Ancient trees of noble strength
Honoured by thy force
Old caves of sacrifice
Forever they’ll be worshipped
Castle of torture be our reign
For your walls have our blood
Your strength made followers
That will kill in your name
Triumphant is your heart
Once more standing proud
Your dark is the essence of my soul
A lot didn’t resist you
Of your pagan existence
You made us proud
And forever we will kill for you

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
Featuring members of Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, and more, the Oakland metal band juxtapose cavernous doom with spaced-out shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
