Futility Report was one of the most intriguing debut albums of this almost-completed decade, a beguiling black metal album with elements of prog, post-metal, post-hardcore and blackgaze, notable due to its intelligent use of soulful saxophone, effective synthesis of several distinct styles and mature song structures. Two years later, White Ward have unleashed their sophomore effort on the world - does Love Exchange Failure live up to the promise of its predecessor?

Interesting stuff here. very nice how they incorporated piano, and saxophone is nice to hear in metal too, excellent work. great vocals and drums, this band just sounds so tight and clean. needs more listens but seems like another new fav.

Putting a sax in metal has become so commonplace now. And boy does it do wonders for this album. The black metal in itself is not half bad, it does have its moments here and there. The first song is especially amazing. The rest of the tracks kind of collapse into each other.

This new wave of 'hipster' black metal bands has been the best breath of fresh air for the genre. Can't wait to see what these guys do next.

Wow...

Apparently there was going to be a new album this year, but the plan got ruined because of the war.
I hope they survive...
