Very cool, just the type of tune I needed after feeling hungrysick all day.

Is this the first time they've added horns/wind instruments on a studio release?

 

[Angrafan]

No... They've had horns on "We Just Stopped Breathing" (off Souvenirs) as well....

 

[NVARAS]

Thanks... what would you recommend from their past catalogue?

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Their last album was absolutely phenomenal. Stoked on the new one!

I'd personally suggest How To Save A Planet and the track liberty bell. Their first few albums are different as they started out as death/doom. Mandylion and onward have the kind of sound that you hear on this sample track.

And band members are credited with "flute" on both 'Always' and 'Mandylion', though I don't really know what that refers to...the crazy tribal fluttering thing in the "Mandylion" instrumental?

Anyhow, good song. I should get off my ass one of these days and see if 'The West Pole' was actually any good.

It is.

BTW, props to them for giving me options about what format to download. I archive everything as FLAC on my computer.

This is the first time I've heard their new singer. I actually really like this track - which is saying something, given how few female singers I like...
