Inter Arma - Sky Burial (2013)
Some nice doomy, progressive sludge metal released on Relapse. It's not too far away from Neurosis and early Mastodon but there's quite a lot going on in their sound to set them apart. There's a nice mixture of styles on this album with dark and despairing sludge, some black metal-style vocals, quiet and spacey interludes and some tribal drumming. One of the better albums I've heard so far in this slightly underwhelming year.
