It's easy to forget that Thou didn't build their name on collaborations and covers and general detours. Thou built their name on slabs of nasty sludge. In our defense it's been six years with a lot of detours since. Best not forget next time.

The single is great.

"House of Ideas" is my favourite. The whole album is just insane...

This is absolutely crushing! "House Of Ideas" is probably my favorite track as well, especially with that immense build-up.

As much as I like an album like Magus, it's cool to see Thou write a compact album and go full nasty sludge like they do here

Thou is always a pleasure to listen to, even if they’re nothing groundbreaking. Checking this out ASAP.

This is so killer with heavy riffs and of course the awesomely suffering vocals. I was also pleasantly surprised by the nice haunting melodies like at the end of "House of Ideas" and the catchy chorus of "The Promise". Probably the best sludge I've heard this year since Toadliquor.

It's not that I'm acquainted with nasty sludge, but after procrastinating for a while, I finally sat(last night) with 2 big runs of it,

This is therapeutic.
