Best of 2011 (albums) DARK CASTLE - Surrender To All Life Beyond Form (Profound Lore)

Truly forward-thinking doom. Rather than rehashing the genre's traditional sound, Dark Castle craft a progressively unique and multi-layered approach that maintains all of the crushing power and darkness of metal's most primal form. The duo's harrowing songs are given an extra layer of massiveness by producer extraordinare Sanford Parker, who mixes traditional psych-doom with the kind of colossal heaviness and genre blending that made Twilight and Nachtmystium's albums so amazing last year. This is essential doom metal that will destroy every single molecule in its path. Every listen exposes something new and more devastating. I am continually captivated by this record.

"Seeing Through Time"
