Label: RelapseRating: 8It’s been four long years since Buried Inside dropped the awesome ‘Chronoclast’, but now the Canadians are back, and time has done little to quell their fire. Over the course of eight untitled tracks, ‘Spoils Of Failure’ engulfs the listener with wave upon wave of dense sludge riffage, reinforced by powerful drum work and impassioned vocals at times reminiscent of Envy. Atmosphere and melody loom large throughout, with soaring psychedelic solos and brief spells of semi-acoustic serenity offering respite from the chaotic intensity present elsewhere. Throw in a typically crushing Kurt Ballou production job and there can be no doubt that ‘Spoils Of Failure’ has been worth the wait.

For fans of: Isis, Envy, Burst, Year Of No Light
