This'll be good if that absolutely stunning artwork is anything to go by.

After six years in hibernation, the Tennessee beast known as Loss has reawakened to wreak havoc on the death-doom world once again. There's so much to appreciate about Horizonless, but perhaps the most noteworthy thing is how much more accessible and digestible it is compared to other bands of their ilk like Esoteric or labelmates Fuoco Fatuo. Sure, the slow-paced meteor shower of half-melancholic-half-eerie riffs, rumbling vocals, booming drums, and strangely clean and audible bass is present throughout much of the album, but a break in the form of almost ambient, tone-setting tracks really give the listener a moment to un-flatten themselves and prepare for the next round of doom. Thus, while the songwriting may be strong and the performances tight, the real virtue of the album lies in its pacing and its structure. Hopefully the people of the world won't have to wait as long for the next one, but if it's anywhere as good as this one it will be a wait well worth it.

Having heard only this album from the band, it is immediately evident that Loss are masters in crafting abstract, brooding atmospheres, that grant their sophomore effort adequate, perpetual even, replay time. However, the abstractness also works backwards, as by the time Horizonless comes to a close, rather than humming melodies or remembering whole song structures, what truly remains is the mood the album aspires to slipstream to its sonic beholders. Favorite track: The Joy Of All Who Sorrow. Stream: http://loss.bandcamp.com/album/horizonless

Doom Metal album of the year.
EDIT: Probably have to give that title to Boris' "Dear" now.

Last album was such a hidden gem back in 2011. Although they missed the doom bubble of the past few years, "Horizonless" is still relevant, and a total a joy.
