APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE - Until The Darkness Goes
Cruz del Sur Music
APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE are a US doom band that I use to like a lot. Their second album, Last Sunrise, from 2010 is an amazing album. Sure I like their style of Midwest melancholy misery but I really liked the cover songs they attached to the end of that album. Be that as it may I never thought their two follow-ups were just as cool. I'm talking about 2014's Of Woe and Wounds and From Gold to Ash which was their last one from 2018.
For me it was like Last Sunrise was a band with a new toy and experimenting around with it. Were as their last two releases came off as having learned the toy but just stuck on the first level of play and never going further. So here we are some years later with their fifth full length. And although their melancholy doom and gloom approach is still profound. This one comes off with far more sadness than before.
Until The Darkness Goes is also their shortest album to date coming in at a little over thirty six minutes. That's five songs that go over the five minute mark and a short instrumental. The band has learned to create songs that are dense and concise. Yeah misery doesn't need a lot of filler. APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE still have a good balance of chunky riffs, clean vocals, solid drum work and this time more thoughtful songs. Great album.
