Different fella now Greg Fox left but the new guy is awesome

Hard to hold a candle to Greg in general hes a beast

Love this review my g! You've got a wee whoopsie where you've said Albani instead of Albini
Absolutely adore the highlights of HAQQ, very much looking forward to this

Can't wait to check this. Incredible review Ben, my deer.

Album Rating: 3.0

I've only heard the previous album and wasn't a fan, but you've convinced me to go for a round two on Friday. Nice review.

Album Rating: 4.5

Thanks milo, fixed.



Hope y’all dig when this lands and that I haven’t completely miss sold this lol. Take the big fat caveat that I don’t listen to much black metal and that therefore the flagrant bastardisation of the genre’s staple elements doesn’t bother me a jot

Album Rating: 4.5

I feel like with this band, if you let go of wanting to hear black metal straight, it's beautiful. I've never been a black metal purist, so there was never an issue with me. They just make good music, period.

Album Rating: 3.5

Damn. That is some praise and I’m all in for that. Very nice.

Album Rating: 4.5

loved the tracks she released last year, feel like the jams have been getting better and better so hyped to hear this

I applaud them for trying something new but it's too experimental for me

is this a bad place to start with Liturgy?

Album Rating: 4.0

"do they still have that balls to the wall drummer?"



Greg Fox left in 2019. The drummer since HAQQ is Leo Didkovsky who was in Kayo Dot during the Blasphemy album cycle. Guy slaps on the kit.

Always have had an appreciation for this band but I think it's only bc I don't care about the genre writ large or have any real interest in interrogating all the aesthetics. It's like watching a popular tv show for the first time 10 years after it airs, maybe you don't get the full picture but it's a lot less exhausting

Two tracks in and this is already shaping up as a crazy album lol.

Album Rating: 3.5

Doesn't top HAQQ for me, at least not after one listen. But it's a great album, if you're into Liturgy's particular brand of treble-y, spastic "black" metal.

Love that the ratings chart is already all over the place lol

"I am convinced HHH is insane. Like actually buttfuck nuts. I’ve seen those weird seminar lecture thingamafucks she does on YouTube. I’ve seen the concert videos with the giant screen full of incomprehensible ramblings. I’ve seen cult indoctrination videos that are more coherent than them. This isn’t the writing of someone who has a concise message they want to tell the world, it’s the incoherent ramblings of someone who has unequivocally lost their goddamn mind."

@Drbebop, Hunt-Hendrix is clearly on the spectrum, no question about that. However, people with minds like this can make some of the best art. Art like this requires an obsessive level of dedication and focus to pull off. Very few people can pull off everything that Liturgy does (including both music and the whole philosophy behind it).

“Love that the ratings chart is already all over the place lol”
As is tradition with Liturgy

Dope album. Lots to digest but the sound overall lines up with what 93696 had going. I particularly thought Haelegen II was excellent.

Also just gonna throw it out there that The Ark Work is Liturgy’s best album but I know Sputnik isn’t ready for that conversation

Album Rating: 4.5

I have a new favourite each time I listen. Antigone II was a massive grower, in particular. The only track I now consistently skip is Red Crown II, which is pointless. I think it's the end of the first LP, given its technically a double album, and I guess it works as a come down, bUT it just fucks with the momentum of the album for me, and whilst a cute little flute duet thing idk i get nothing from it.
