74. My diligence - "Death.Horses.Black"

A wonderfully expansive album from Belgium. This mixes post rock with doom creating a pleasant and all-consuming noise that is rich in texture and variation. There is a lot going on across its eight tracks and it is consciously cut in two, buffered by the self explanatory titled ‘Interlude’. The first part sounds massive, interspersed with gigantic hocks and colossal vocals. The latter section is much more self-reflective and slight and feels like a descension into a bleak bottomless hole. Still astonishingly intricate it is noticeably more dark and maudlin than the start of the record. Astonishing album.
