      fantano didn’t like my current aoty, so i think it’s okay that he gets a lot of hate, and could use a lil more actually.
      Genuinely though, it sucks that most people aren’t going to give this a try after this review. He didn’t even talk about how the record is continuous except for 90% of the runtime, which is where I think the feelings of sameness come from.

    Mr. Fantano sir, I kindly request you perhaps consider reviewing the newest album from Australian band Eunuchs. I think there are some really great things happening on that record, some that your audience may also find comparable results.
    Also I've always wondered your thoughts on Gaza, the late 2000s hardcore group. I always come back to their second album, very visceral.

      A Brief Memoriam is a tale of Lowell’s grieving for his dead mother, so of course it’s naturally more emotionally resonant.
      Haven’t listened to this one yet, but I have no expectations of liking it more than ABM. Still a 5-6/10 is ridiculously low in my humble opinion.

    Really glad you reviewed this, as I'm sure it's going to make people check them out regardless, but this is a rare L in your heavy reviews, in my opinion... Screamo, yes, but I personally have to strain my ears to hear anything to do with post-metal, let alone black metal... And I have to say I slightly checked out of the review when you said the record lacked dynamics. It's a shame you didn't reference the lyrical subject matter, as I think it explains why it sounds so consistently anguished, notwithstanding the genre(s) the trio inhabit.

    You’re wrong and here’s why,
    This album isn’t any more “one note” than most Skramz albums and I’d argue that this is stylistically more advanced and formally intricate than most bands in the scene today. The lyrical content is utterly devastating and the production’s burying of the vocals is almost a symbol of the the vocalist trying to remain guarded during a moment of extreme vulnerability.
