US black metal. Yellow Eyes are definitely what some might call 'hipster black metal' -- they're from NYC, Pitchfork has covered them, and they look like this -- but they never fall into 'post-black metal' territory. The dual guitar work is fluid, avoiding riffs and easy payoffs in favor of constantly shifting tremolo-picked melodies, and the overall sound is rough but organic. And, while there's a beauty to their music, it's always cut with a sense of unease and morbidity.
Track listing:
1. Light Has Fallen
2. In This Stillness
3. Many Long Fingers Bent in Pain
4. Ice Knell
5. Hammer of Night
6. Cabin Filled with Smoke and Flies
