All The Empires Of The World - Last Rites [Ogg]

All The Empires Of The World operate on that strange threshold between ambient music and Very Loud Metal Music. This record is strictly undefinable. While reference points can be given - ritualistic noise, colossal riffs, beautiful evocations, hazy delayed guitar, pealing chords, remote vocals, tension, release, eruption, heaviness, light - it is the careful combination of these elements that makes it a rare joy. Mark tells us that: This record is a testament to finding the best in everything - it was influenced by my brother and two sisters and their complex and wonderful lives. Denial of the spirit is denial of the self.
