Album is wrecking me right now.



So I got my copy of this in the mail today and I laughed at the hyperbole written on the packaging:



The new unparalleled masterpiece of epic, ritualistic, searing, extreme metal darkness resulting in one of the most monumental blackened metal albums of the year. Evoking and crushing aspirit and power of classic Neurosis, Swans, and Killing Joke along with encompassing an aesthetic and power of extreme diseased blackened war metal that no other band in the genre can adhere to "Gin" is the extreme metal soundtrack to the strong inheriting the earth

Decibel said that, whats not to expect?

To be fair the Neurosis and Swans comparisons are warranted.

Well, if you dont have any Agalloch or Ulver albums i'd say get one from them. But as far as this goes, a solid metal buy would be this if you could find it cheap.

Viginti Tres was not a totally useless addition to 10,000 days.

You see Viginti Tres is Latin and translates to 23. The song length of Wings for Marie Pt.2 is 11:12 11+12=23. When you edit Viginti Tres onto the end of Wings for Marie Pt.1 the song lengths (5:02 and 6:10 respectively) combine to 11:12 the same length as Wings Pt.2.



So you mix your new track Wings Pt.1+Viginti Tres Over Wings Pt. 2 for an entirely new song. The ominous voice during Viginti Tres then overlaps during the thunderstorm section of Wings Pt. 2 and its pretty awesome.

That was a pretty awesome interview. I had no idea this band's lead singer was actually in the army. I really, really need this album.
