Albums That Will F*ck Your Face Off in 2013: Light Bearer, TBA

Light Bearer
TBA (Halo of Flies)
Release date – ???

Did you hear that Northless/Light Bearer split that came out this year? It’s up at Cvlt Nation, go check it out. I’ll wait.

Okay, you’re back. What the FUCK, right? Nevermind the incredible cover, and the two absolutely crushing tracks from Northless — what the shit is going on with this twenty-minute Light Bearer track?! What a sweeping thunderstorm of vehement hatred that thing is! You have to assume that most of Light Bearer’s instruments are either tombstones, or made from parts of tombstones, and that they perform while summoning a great cloud of cancer and depression from the depths of the void, to spread across the land killing crops, livestock, and the children of men. I could listen to this shit all day.

And thankfully, I will soon be able to, because according to their website, the London six-piece are recording a new album, due to be released sometime this year, assumedly from Halo of Flies (also known for their work with Abaddon and Malachi). While I can find no further news about the album or what it will sound like, one has to assume it’s a god-sized dirge of a record, bloated with many-fanged maggots and a sense of utter hopelessness.

If you’re a fan of sludge, funeral doom, and ambient noise, keep your eyes out for this bludgeoning soon-to-be classic. And if you’re not, this might just be the album to get you involved.
