PASSAGE

justanoldgod Yith is the most underrated band in their weight class. Another blackened doom masterpiece- bleak and spare and unrelenting. What a way to cap off this winter but with this hellish droning record whose highs and lows are all insanely beautiful. ‘Passage’ takes you on a journey through the void. Articulate soundscaping dragging you with them, a bloody mess, because the only way out is through.

Sonny92 Yith's previous release Immemorial was my AOTY for 2018. I don't consider Passage to be quite as outstanding as that classic, but it is still a high quality release and Yith has proved himself to be consistently one of the finest exponents of the blackened doom niche genre. His melding of sorrowful doom and angst-ridden, yet melodic, atmospheric black metal is a combination that really appeals to my sensibilities and his releases always manage to grab my attention.

Dave Aftandilian Incredibly tight doomsmanship with deep, desperate emotional resonance. Perfectly captures the utter bleak nihilistic futility facing all that lives—yet also the urge to fight back, resist, scream our names into the void, no matter how pointless these gestures may be. We will of course fail, fall, and rot in the end, but we would not be human if we did not at least rage at the injustice of it all. And perhaps, as we emerge in spirit from the husks of our bodies, we will finally find freedom.

tr_🇺🇦 One of the most pleasant surprises lately. It's a mix of BM (1st song) and the melodic sensibilities of Mournful Congregation. Much more slanted towards doom. I struggle to find anything bad to say about it, other than I could do with more of those vocals in the slower parts, too. Favorite track: VOID.

about

"The emotional power of the melodic riffing is the heart of the album, which will come as no surprise to those of you who’ve heard the two previous full-lengths, but the emotions evoked by the music are again unmistakably dark — ranging from frenzied torment to utter despair and inconsolable surrender to the torments of life. The music intertwines the crushing wretchedness and heartbreak of doom, which come to the fore in the songs’ more stately and sodden passages, with the harsh, roiling turbulence of black metal and feverish tremolo’d chords that radiate madness and terrible misery."

- No Clean Singing

"Across the entire album, the instrumentals shine — the vocals, when they are present, mesh into the mix like an echo from another dimension. The music feels resolute, which only makes the weight of the sonic despair even more crushing.

5/5 Stars"

- Captured Howls
