Chris What a great, nearly philosophical black-metal-doom album. I especially love the slow parts and his guttural sounds. Quite a gem here. Favorite track: Desert of Absurdity.

Tom For a second there, I didn't think Yodh could be topped, but here we are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jxlopez47 Absolutely gorgeous Black Metal compositions, and I'm not sure I've ever described any work in this genre as gorgeous. This album is exactly that, though. I must admit however, having the first half of the album released on Spotify several weeks before this full release spoiled the album a little bit. Knowing the first two tracks well took away from the experience of listening to this album from start to finish. Favorite track: Cairn to God.

2LP/CD formats for sale from Gilead Media - gileadmedia.bandcamp.com

I know many of you like to support me directly via Mizmor's webstore - I will be selling the 2LP/CD/Dig/Long-sleeve/T-shirts after tour ends in early October; for now purchase from "Cairn" merchandise from Gilead.

--------------------------

"Cairn" is an emotional exploration of the absurdity of life - man's constant search for meaning in a chaotic universe devoid of an ultimate purpose. This absurd premise prompts the individual to choose between a leap of faith into an ultimate purpose, suicide, or acceptance of reality. "Cairn" asserts that there is but one viable option, acceptance, and that one must build monuments to the other two as guide posts forbidding return. It declares that one must revolt and live in the present face of this absurdity and create in enjoyment the meaning necessary for life.

From A.L.N.:
""Cairn" clocks in at just under one hour of new original music. I recorded the album over the course of three months in my home studio. I took the long way, sparing no expense or detail in my recording. I sought to take the project to a new territory tonally, starting with my education. I won't get into too much detail lest I bore the majority of you, so I will leave it simple: this is the highest resolution recording of the most thoroughly written and rehearsed Mizmor material there's ever been. I was purposefully the pickiest I've ever been with myself at all stages of this album's production and coming through the other side, I'm extremely happy with the result. I'm incredibly honored and thrilled to again have worked with Sonny DiPerri and Adam Gonsalves). Together, the three of us crafted the sound of "Yodh" and have now taken "Cairn" well beyond the prior's sonic limits. I am also floored by the final product of the extremely personal commissioned painting by Mariusz Lewandowski. Continuing in the vein of the polish surrealist master, Beksinski, Lewandowski has beautifully interpreted the theme's of "Cairn" into his painting "Time Immemorial," which sprawls to grace both covers of the album."
