MCMLVII. On August 18th of 1957, during the Cold War, the Syrian army brought in Afif al-Bizri as chief-of-staff, who in the Western governments' regime viewed as a Soviet sympathizer, the Western governments decided to use Balkanization of the Middle-Eastern people by using its religious extremism against itself. This brought a campaign against the countries surrounding them to be of the Soviets, this was an attack brought on by fear of the onsetting repercussion of violence.
A short but punchy single from Pallbearer’s prime years followed by two solid covers from legendary bands. I’m rather partial to the Type O Negative cover. 7/10 RJ
this their most solid release to date, there other records are all insanely brilliant, you should buy them if you enjoy this for sure. keep kicking ass and putting some of the best sludge this decade. Ryan Graham
This record yearns and aches with sorrow and hope, tenderness and broken-heartedness, that tears you up. This music reaches out to you. I loved the blend of acoustic, electric, and synth swells. I loved how many of the musical phrases ended on an accent beyond where you expected them to, a feeling both marching and soaring. This album is mottled light through the leaves falling onto the stone walls where you sit, awash in feeling. The swell at the end, cutting into silence, took my breath away. pinkytheent
Anyone homesick for the classic sound of ’90s math rock will fall in love with the jagged guitars & tricky tempos on “LLC.” Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
There is absolutely no need for a band to have been this good this early in their careers, but here they are (were?)
