...In The Absence Of Light

by Grief Symposium

supported by

Elased This album is a monolith! Massive and powerful, it oscillates between doomy death metal and raging thrash metal. Rough and hard, but also impressively creative and atmospheric - even moments of gentle tenderness are not missing! The whole thing ends in an 18-minute dark ambient soundscape that doesn't really fit in with the rest of the album.

Darknight Oh yeah this is a badass death metal album full of killer doominess and awesome atmospheric effects. Grief Symposium are the band to watch for in the near future, excellent debut. Favorite track: Esoteric Mirrors.

CeetjeBeetje Love the drums on this album. So damn clear and punchy!
Overall a freaking tight piece of art!

Never received my order, though! What gives? Favorite track: Among Dead Gods.

Jono Schneider Jesus God this is so heavy, massive riffs and chords that run the length of the sky. These guys are doomy and deathy but mix it up unpredictably - a lot of massive bottom rocking and rolling your heads on the floor, it most definitely will stomp you.

I'm deeply saddened that it took me until Sept. 2022 to discover the existence of this band and album. How could my music friends have let me down so thoroughly? How could I not have just sensed the presence of this masterpiece and channeled it from thin air. Absolutely crushing desert sludge, with groove that makes you want to bang your head...against a rusty nail on a prairie fence post. Hayduke X
