Yeah Into the Night wasn't much of a winner for me until I heard it two or three times inside of the context of the rest of the album. Really ties together the back half of the record

Into the Night has been constantly playing in my head but I'm still not sure what I think of it.

that's an oxymoron but i'd say the closest is either salvation or adtf

not like they’re a depressive band



but I guess the more relieving/uplifting one is Salvation then Mariner

Yeah I wouldn't consider what they do to be depressing all that much. Definitely a feeling of longing comes to mind with their music, and the sprawling vastness the music creates really doesn't exist in my mind with any other band.

I find all post-metal bands I listen to cathartic. Some stuff of Neurosis is somewhat depressive, though. If anything, CoL is one of the most upbeat of them all.

I'd consider SATH a depressive record, and the Beyond is halfway there
Salvation defs the most uplifting

I don't know if I would say SATH is depressive, there's definitely some hopefulness on that one.

I guess it's difficult conjuring up feelings of sadness when the music is so life-affirmingly incredible - exploding with joy simply isn't compatible with such things, therefore I cannot say any of their stuff is depressive.

...maybe an actual answer - The Beyond, maybe Dawn. SATH doesn't give me that vibe completely, but in parts, perhaps. Not really though. Eternal Kingdom has a shroud of darkness to it.

Salvation is arguably the most uplifting because it's the best, but also because it might be the most uplifting for actual reasons / some people may have actual reasons, idk. It's pretty.

Happy isn’t ever a word that comes to mind. It’s always mysterious, ominous, cathartic, intimidating. Fucking METAL this band is, but no one does their unique brand of emotional like them.

Idk, And With Her Came The Birds feels like their most depressive song to me, Dark City Dead Man is up there too.

Dim and Thirtyfour also hella desolate and Finland v uneasy. I guess Chapel Town is uplifting, but that's about it. isn't sath a literal concept record about solitude and loneliness anyway, huh
