Tombs, Path Of Totality (2011)
Like some occult coin-face
My review of the second album by Tombs is up now at MetalReview. Path Of Totality is a wonderfully dark, fully immersive album, and will likely shake out as one of the year’s best come December’s final accounting. Out now on Relapse.

Fantastic review, as always. I was honestly expecting a more immediate, if not poppy album from Tombs; Mike Hill has the sensibilities. I’m glad that’s not what we got, and I suspect I’ll be digesting this one for a good long while.
Hey, thanks man. I agree that the second album could have gone the opposite direction that it did. I can’t say that I had particularly clear expectations for this one, but it still has taken me a fair amount of time to wrap my mind around just how excellent it is.
