Mouth of the Architect - Quietly (2008)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Mouth of the Architect - The Violence Beneath (2010)

Probably my favorite Oceanic-core record (excluding records by Isis or Neurosis, obviously.) Heavy and beautiful, with an excellent sense of dynamic and patience, and a deeply sorrowful emotional core, Quietly just does it right. File "Generation of Ghosts" under "Perfect Post-Metal Songs."

Track listing:
1. Quietly
2. Hate and Heartache
3. Pine Boxes
4. Guilt and the Like
5. Generation of Ghosts
6. Rocking Chairs and Shotguns
7. Medicine
8. A Beautiful Corpse

You could see it on their faces
Smell it on their lips
