A Storm Of Light
Forgive Us Our Trespasses
Neurot Recordings

The end of times is a concept that’s been with mankind since he first began daubing blood and ash on cave walls, and now Brooklyn’s heaviest of hitters A Storm Of Light are picking up the baton with their latest masterpiece, “Forgive Us Our Trespasses.”

The band have already proven themselves master storytellers… , their acclaimed 2008 debut “And We Wept The Black Ocean Within” sending shockwaves through the avant metal underground with its bracken-draped tales of seafaring woe and this year’s “Primitive North” collaboration with Nadja cementing their status as leading lights in the ever-shifting realms of metal’s experimental fringes.

“Forgive Us Our Trespasses” showcases a more refined sound and a significant broadening of scope, the band leading the listener on a millennial journey that sees the modest curls of smoke rising from nomadic campsites gradually replaced by the billowing smokestacks of industry before being cast down and consigned to the soil once more as the planet rouses from its aeon-long slumber.

“All you really have to do is look around you to see where things are headed,” muses guitarist, vocalist and in-house artist Josh Graham, “the album basically charts humankind’s journey toward oblivion as the planet awakens and tips the scales back in its own favour. Needless to say, the outlook for humanity in all of this isn’t exactly too bright.”

I agree with Subtle_Darkness, his voice gets a little boring at times.

@ peregrim: good, cause I'm going for Minsk in the first place ;-) But both bands are very much alike, that's what I meant

i wish Josh would put a bit more expression into his voice. I really enjoy his vocals but, some more variation in passion and volume would be nice. I really enjoy the style overall

@disastercasper: I'm not sure.. minsk impressed me far more than a storm of light.. a reason might be that a storm of light's beautiful but depressing sound is something I can only listen to in special situations. and not as a live performance on stage.

Seeing them together with Minsk. Couldn't think of two bands more fitting together.

Not sure how I feel about the new album just yet. Their debut stuck with me immediately, which is rare for any album after a single listen (especially with post-metal, sludge, etc.), but this one hasn't clicked just yet. I'll give it some more time.
