Just bought this based on your review.

Picked up the previous album and while excellent, it didn’t absolutely knock my socks off – although there were moments of sheer brilliance, I think the songwriting overall could have been tighter.

So far only heard the first few minutes of the new one, in the car driving the kids home from lunch. I’ve been waiting til they’re in bed to listen to it on my headphones and drink a big ol’ glass of whiskey on the rocks.

Plug in, tune out, … bliss.

Excellent review Mr.Thomas, couldn’t have described the atmosphere of this album any better ( probably why I’m not reviewing cds ). Great band, great album.

Great review, Eric! I’m not sure whether it’s my thing but I really feel like checking this band out now.

“Rather than brittle icy riffs, the trance like riffs on Black Cascade are fluid, intrinsic and hypnotic in their tremolo picked beauty. Rather than craggy, harsh sound scapes of hatred, Black Cascade is the isolated, lush waterfall continually cascading off rocks and the damp mist of the Pacific Northwest’s great forests.”

Spot on, man. This album will definitely be in my top ten for this year…or my life.
