Pillar of Light's music is weighty and drenched in melancholy and amid all the pain and sorrow, they have found a way to project light and hope when all seems lost. It is the case with almost every single song on this profound album, where the songs toil and churn and build up for a divine epiphany of sorts to take place, culminating in a blinding, freeing, all-cleansing white-light catharsis. Without this ponderous struggle, the backbreaking sludge/doom drudgery, any of the uplifting parts would lose meaning. As in life, both darkness and light have their place and one wouldn't be the same without the other. The raw emotions in the music and the underlying plaintive melodies are all too palpable, and the feeling is heightened in large part due to the burning intensity and desperation in the vocals. Pillar of Light have created an album that is poignant and more importantly relatable; it is soul-crushingly heavy, pinning down the mortal with the endless weight of struggle and torment and at the same time, invariably, ensuring that there's enough humanity in it for one to see things through.
For fans of - Amenra, God’s Tower, Cult of Luna, Neurosis
