A banger of sludgy doom - or doomy sludge, who knows -, Celestial Blues's most immediate feature are Kris Esfandiari's spirited vocals, moving from gnarly screams to ominous whispers. Amped up by a Jack Shirley production - these guitar tones are mucho nice -, the songs flow from different moods, from the introspective to the demoniac, from the depressive to the spiritual.

I am in a sort of a love-hate relationship with this album (it's actually one-sided, the album doesn't know I exist). See, on one hand I love the aesthetic, the heaviness, the instrumentation, the atmosphere, on the other hand its song-writing and sound leaves a lot to be desired. I cannot pick up a lot of distinct character here and certainly the juicy fetishistic cover and promotional material oversold the mostly standard fare sludge metal on display here. Lyrical content I can appreciate, but it only does so much to drag the album out of its often flat rut.

AND IT HURTS AND IT HURTS AND IT STINGS
AOTY for me so far. The subtle pop sensibilities really push this over edge for me

Massive album. If you dig ERR with Thou collab this doesn't fall much behind. Same vibe here and there, but with some poppish "a la Billie Eillish" song structures, specially on vocals, all "nicely" balanced with dirty depressed and pissed off sludge. Btw, I haven't said I like Billie Eillish. Boghz slays af.

The singles have set my expectations for this. I really hope the whole album is just as excellent as the three tracks shared so far.
