YomaBarr This album either has an identity crisis or multiple personality. And yet it works, and how! Thanks Sludgelord!

Cheveu Miracle Really great harsh vocals and a vast musical landscape behind, but I need to listen to this on something else than the shitty phone speaker I'm stuck with right now 😅

Katimavik86 Progressive, sludgy, massive. Have loved this one since it came out. Favorite track: Chokhmah/Binah.

about

Scientist manufactures elements of sludge, doom, prog and black metal into something organic and original. The outcome is equal parts brutal and transcendental Following up on their previous full-length (which amidst other acclaim was included on a Metal Injection Top 10 Albums of 2015 list), Scientist are releasing their third album, “Barbelith” in collaboration with Sludgelord Records (SLR009).

According to the band, the new work is a concept album about "the search for life's meaning through the use of psychedelics and the occult, only to discover that you haven't even been born yet" and is "heavily influenced by the concepts revolving around Grant Morrison's comic book series the invisibles".

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
