Many of these were quick listens, so it's possible I never got to the meat of the record. Thanks for reading. Noted Etan; I’ll give the band another try.

I STRONGLY encourage you to try out the Birushanah. The band is nothing like Envy and there's no post-rock to be heard in it. Imagine a mammoth doom band that uses traditional Japanese gagaku scales and percussion instruments, plus a fretless bass. One of the most alien-sounding and wonderful doom acts I've ever heard. The recent record (Akai Yami) was one of my top five of last years. Patrick, this is a fun series, thanks. I STRONGLY encourage you to try out the Birushanah.
