I thought Black Table's "Obelisk" was a top 10 extreme metal release of 2016. This EP from 2012 is a bit less experimental but I think just as amazing. Wonderful, complicated guitar parts, progressive bass lines that you can hear, very clean and clear drums that do not muddy up the music, and some of the most unique shrieky vocals ever. I don't know if it's Black Metal...there are aspects of it that remind of Minsk or Rwake...so I think of it as progressive blackened sludge. MindOverFour
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
