I’ve been listening to this album for weeks and it’s taken me some time to review it due to worldly circumstances at the moment (Black lives matter way more than promoting music). It’s been my go to album lately, up there with Sutrah, Lychgate, Ainsoph and Dyssidia. Witching combine doom sludge music with elements of post punk and post rock. It’s gloriously textured.
I can’t critique this album, which is not very common, I usually have at least one fault with albums I love. It’s a good chunk of time, not too short or long. The space in the music creates a sense of time passing while the tightness of the song writing allows for infinite replayability. I’ve pretty much enjoyed everything I’ve heard mastered by Brad Boatright from Audio Siege so I wasn’t surprised to see his name attached to Vernal. It’s is such an amalgamation of sludge ideas from across the board, showing a fascinating understanding of the sludge/stoner/post metal spectrum from the band and then them working with similarly minded audio engineers cements the competency.
