Astral Sabbath

Astral Sabbath is a very good album,love the mix of slow burning metal merged with very clever psychedelic bits. It's quite spacey and heavy that takes you on a induced reality journey through a slow hellish nightmare. High 5's all round for Verdun!
Favorite track: The Second Sun.

about
Three years after their first album "The Eternal Drift's Canticles" that sits them firmly as a stalwart of the european sludge / doom scene, Montpellier, France's powerhouse VERDUN returns with "Astral Sabbath", marking their debuts as a four-piece. The band headed to the Cantal countryside during Spring 2019 to record and mix these seven tracks with Cyrille Gachet (Fange, Year Of No Light, Chaos Echoes).
With an approach of slow and heavy music played with a punk energy and a psychedelic feel, the band shines at combining sorrowful melodies with earth-shaking riffing. More focused in writing memorable tracks rather than relying on deafening volumes, this second full-length is the band's most accomplished effort, mastered by Bruno Varea (Blut Aus Nord, Doctor Livingstone…) and featuring striking cover art by illustrator Sinpiggyhead.

Cult leader has been an underrated great band. Heavy, intelligent. I saw them a couple times including this past year. Would hope they tour in 2024.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 6 fans who also own “Astral Sabbath”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
