Heavy Metallic Beauty
Absolutely gorgeous music that defies easy categorization. I would say this is the best metal album I've heard this year, but 'metal' doesn't really cover it. Start with \"Pretty As Pie\" for a nice taste of the band's transcendent-savage-precise tension. Soaring, dreamy, crunching, punishing. Shoegaze metal, maybe? Dunno. The whole album works; fookin' brilliant's what it is. Don't sleep.
