Sulphur English (Vinyl 12″ Album) – Inter Arma

The reigning masters of the slow build continue to trace a distinctly ambitious trajectory through modern metal. Their impulses tend toward the epic, but never bloat; they meld several styles – doom, sludge, and hard psych – without coming off like dilettantes. ‘Sulphur English’ finds them mining deeper in the proggy organic doom fields that made both ‘Paradise Gallows’ and ‘Sky Burial’ so thrilling while expanding further the on the psych-folk strain that made those albums’ peaks seem so lofty.
