I will be listening to this album when every single one of my sack hairs have turned gray. Thats when I will be a distinguished gentleman with a silver lid, and my ears will crave the head caving lamentations these Nola ghouls wrought. Beauty with ugly.

Excellent instrumentation, ridiculously heavy, and unrelentingly dark. The vocals are the weak link here.

Sonically, not all that much separates Peasant from Thou's debut full-length, Tyrant. What helps put this release on the same level as its predecessor is the tightened songwriting and even more memorable moments. There are a plethora of different tones the album works with, from nihilistic, to warlike, to melancholy, to hopelessly aimless (in vibe, definitely not in songwriting), to hopeful. It gives the music a nice depth that helps the album separate itself from similar projects. The one constant is Bryan Funck's eternal rasp, one that is surprisingly full of clarity without sacrificing its power. There's some pretty good lyricism to be found here too, and because of Funck's clarity, they can be heard easily. Some of the riffs here are legitimately saddening, too, like the opener "The Work Ethic Myth"'s dominating opening riff, and the majority of "Burning Black Coals And Dark Memories". It's a great continuation and polishing of a great sound, and you're a fan of sludge metal, you should be all over this.

Low 7 out of 10: Nowhere near as good as their debut LP, but still very solid and hard-hitting.
