CANDLELIGHT
The London trio’s 2021 debut album, Serpent &Spirit, was incredibly promising, but surely no one could have seen the gigantic leap in quality to AFeast On Sorrow coming. The riffs were more complex, the
production from Gojira’s Joe Duplantier sharpened their attack, but it was vocalist Joe Nally’s emotional performance, palpably channelling the confusion and frustration of grief and loss, that was the key element. Heartbreaking and crushing in equal measure,
AFeast On Sorrow
was the perfect modern metal album.
