MDCV. On November 5th of 1605, Robert Catesby plotted an assassination of King James I of England and VI of Scotland in response to his persecution of Catholics. As James initially instilled modesty for the people of dissent to his rule, the King became encompassed with scandal and his wife sent a rosary from one of his own spies took to eradicate Catholics from England. James began enforcing capitol punishment on the Jesuits and Catesby plotted to bomb the Parliament to take King James I’s life. This was an arbitrary act of violence from both sides that ended in turmoil and recurring relapses of pretending imaginary figures/views are the answer to political discourse.
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?)
