SubRosa - More Constant Than The Gods

Announced (album title and month of release) on Profound Lore's official Facebook page. Highly anticipated.

One of my most anticipated albums this year After hearing a few songs live this spring, I'm counting down the days!

New song called 'Cosey Mo' here.

Nice song. Looks like they aren't interested in changing anything from the last album, which is fine with me.

Their last album was a nice surprise in 2011. Looking forward to this one.

Leaked lately.

No surprises, no complaints. Even if it lacks the shock effect of Mighty Ones, it could very well be my AOTY. They just know how to push my buttons.

More of the same then I assume? I'm fine with that.

Pretty much, yeah. There are some new nuances and emphases, but nothing that stands out dramatically. The album opens with a surprisingly light passage and overall, I would say the vocals have improved. Or become more refined anyhow, whether one likes it or not.

I liked it better than the previous one , the productions are much better here.

I really love the closing track with its far eastern vibe...

I would say it's not quite as energetic as Mighty Ones. With fewer and longer songs, it also doesn't have quite as many powerful hooks. The production is thicker and heavier, and overall better, but it loses some in rugged and rough edge in the process. There are some more softer sections, and the transitions are executed smoothly - no more House Carpenter out of nowhere. All in all, it seems like a more balanced, polished and mature album. At this point, I can't help but feel it may be a bit less interesting, though. It's not outright boring, but certainly doesn't click as immediately and memorably as the predecessor did. Certainly not as many catchy choruses.

Needs more spins, but will probably earn 4/5. Outdoes the predecessor in many aspects, but memorable melodies isn't one of them and that (at least for now) puts it behind Mighty Ones, for me. If they'd cut some unnecessary length from a few songs and wrote one more with a killer chorus and violin riff, I would be extatic.

The second half of Ghosts of a Dead Empire is fucking brilliant. And yeah, that last song is way cooler than House Carpenter for a soft song (not that I didn't like that one, too). It's a little overlong, maybe, but works really well to introduce a new angle to the band before closing the album. I didn't get any far eastern vibes first, but you're right that the violin and that plucked instrument (zither?) does bring to mind a Zhang Yimou flick.

Fat of the Ram is unbelievably heavy. Seriously, one of the most oppressive tracks I've ever heard. Love it.

I never heard of Subrosa before seeing this on the front page but I have to say, this is some really cool stuff. I don't know if I'd call it sludge but awesome nonetheless.

Why I can't find this ? no bandcamp, no youtube, no soundcloud...

I swear I would buy it too only if I could,it's not because of the amount I should spend, unfortunately I'm looking for another way.

I don't think the full album is streaming yet. There were just a couple of tracks online.

Was reported leaked on the 13th September. Not rocket science googling the blogosphere for Mediafire etc. links. Definitely gonna pick this up at the local record store next time I go around, though. Growing with every listen.

I could hardly describe how much I've come to love this band. It makes me happy just knowing about them. I fucking love SubRosa.

Is it Vernon or Pendleton singing lead on No Safe Harbor? The voice sounds somewhere between the two.

My favorite record of 2013. Otherworldly, heavy, and enchanting. Great album.

This was good surprise to me in doom metal this year i loved that from the first listen

Wonderful album. Wonderful cover. Wonderful closing track. Disappointed it took me this long to find them.

I'm also disappointed in you. Nah, not really. You should look into the album before this one. It's basically more of this.

Band is good, pretty much so.

I can't stop listening to this album at least once a week, it's beautiful and heavy as hell.

I think Fat of the Ram is my favorite song from last year

I get shivers down my spine during the part where she bellows, "There's never shelter for me in the halls of the righteous"

Good album. Great violin riffs, I just wish it was a bit heavier.
