Review: Terminus – The Silent Bell Toll
Out of the swamplands of thick sludge and angry rednecks, we now stumble upon… pop sludge? What? Did someone dump a sugar truck in my swamp or something?

A stellar late-career release from a group of legends
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
Fantastically intricate blackened death metal with classic energy but bass-heavy and dissodeath-inspired chops.
Listening to Silver Lining is exactly like when my Necrophagist-loving friend used to send me his Guitar Pros – robotic note spam for minutes on end.
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
