Another triumph in forward looking doom metal from the Southern Lord stable.

We Say...
It's safe to say the world's premier avant doom label Southern Lord has not been resting on its laurels. Recent years have seen benchmark releases, among them the Sunn O)))/Boris collaboration Altar. New duo Ascend — Gentry Densley (Iceburn, Eagle Twin) and Greg Anderson (Sunn O))), Goatsnake) — follow this trend with their debut, Ample Fire Within, a particularly inventive doom record. The title track packs the punch of a particularly heavy ASVA outing while nodding toward the free jazz sensibilities of Spanish Key-era Miles Davis. On "The Obelisk of Kolob," the doom is actually celebratory and triumphant, buoyed by the trombone playing of Steve Moore (Earth), who also turns up to up to add spectacular Wurlitzer organ tones on "Divine." And on "V.O.G.," the group uses very modern methods to make amazingly ancient-sounding devotional music.
