Ken Goodey I originally added this to my BC wishlist just because I liked the cover! I now know that the Beksiński painting on the cover just fits perfectly. Making ruinously heavy music isn't just a case of down-tuning guitars, turning up distortion, screaming & growling and hoping everything will come out okay – you still have to know how to construct songs. Yodh is swollen with well-executed ideas, discharged with masterly murkiness & doomicidal despair. Favorite track: v. Bask In The Lingering.

kloys Crushing. Something really special here. Favorite track: ii. A Semblance Waning.

mcln A tumultuous, sonic experience at the crossroads of black and doom metal. This record provides a truly unique listening experience that fans of both bm and doom will return to time and time again. Favorite track: ii. A Semblance Waning.

about

Here we have the final announcement for our batch of summer albums, and one that I am quite pleased to be a part of, the release of the second full-length album from Portland, OR based one-man blackened-doom band, Mizmor.

Although there have been a number of EPs and split releases over the last four years, Mizmor has not released a full-length record since its self-titled first album in 2012. A.L.N. (the sole member of Mizmor) and Gilead Media are excited to announce this new installment entitled Yodh.

An epic conceptual exploration, Yodh finds the project at its most focused state. Over the course of the 60+ minute, five-track album Mizmor takes the listener to a place entirely new for the band. The album is an impassioned struggle with the nature of survival - why humankind continually chooses life each day in the face of adversity, pain, depression, and suffering.

Yodh is also elevated in its display of Mizmor’s most fully realized sonic experience. The album was recorded by A.L.N. himself, meticulously mixed by Sonny DiPerri, and mastered by Adam Gonsalves. This creative team pushes the sonic limits further than any previous Mizmor material in order to present a finished audio product suitable for such demanding themes. The result is simply brutal, harrowing and overwhelming blackened doom that surges with pure energy.

This album will be presented as a gatefold 2LP by Gilead Media, and as a self-released cassette edition. Both formats will feature packaging graced with four incredible works by painter Zdzisław Beksiński, licensed and scanned directly from the paintings themselves in Poland. A download code will be included with the albums. A released date of August 2016 is expected.
