Unique groupe, musique unique.
Since Facebook and Bandsintown recommended YONL simultaneously based on some of my preferences like LizZard, it must have been the right stuff. Amazing, entertaining, transcendenting. Doom metal very relaxed, without pretension. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Désolation.

Wład Absolute epic masterpiece. Favorite track: Alamüt.

klzhml absolutely awesome album! Favorite track: Tocsin.

about

On this outstanding new offering, YEAR OF NO LIGHT , the undisputed leader of Instrumental Post-Metal, continues to explore the boundless possibilities of its unique transcendental expression of sound.

This third full lenght album, and third masterpiece, is a doom expedition that moves from slow, tribal pounding and shimmering ambience through an echo chamber of melodic guitar notes and into a vast, black pit of fuzz-bombed despair streaked with feedback and touched by the pale beckoning hand of death.

Extremely heavy, divinely stellar, and epic. "Tocsin" is an unforgettable journey beyond the laws of Post-Metal, Doom Metal, hypnotic musical forms and any other influence marked with the seal of pure mysticism...

A wholly metaphysical experience.

Maximum volume delivers maximum results !

The Long Road North
by Cult of Luna

supported by 140 fans who also own “Tocsin”

“Post-metal” can often be guilty of merely being loud and lingering. Cult of Luna totally dodge this pitfall. I think I most enjoyed the many textures throughout this album; percussive items beyond drums, emotive synth swells, untraditional instruments. Cult of Luna create a totally unique flavor to express their musical colors. I loved the powerful CHURN that swirled through much of this album, from the beginning horns and drums, carried forward by an excellent rhythm section. pinkytheent

The Anaesthete
by Rosetta

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme. brineryte
