Throughout, it dances Converge-like between heaviness in its myriad forms. The slo-mo slugging that had them erroneously bracketed as a doom outfit early on has become even heavier, lower, more crushing – take the agonising Foreclusure. The bursts of speed, meanwhile, are even more disorienting, adding as much turbulence to The Searing Glow as they do powerful thrust. When they hit full-chug on Hang Them In Your Head, it only serves to flex just how accurate their wrecking ball power has become.
This is all buttressed with threads of melody that bring in the soul of the album. Singer/guitarist Brady Deeprose recently joked to K! that this element resulted in a (brilliant) working title of Pallbearer? I Hardly Knew Her! (LOL), but it also adds articulacy to the record’s themes of disconnection and not belonging.
