Pillar of Light's music is weighty and drenched in melancholy and amid all the pain and sorrow, they have found a way to project light and hope when all seems lost. It is the case with almost every single song on this profound album, where the songs toil and churn and build up for a divine epiphany of sorts to take place, culminating in a blinding, freeing, all-cleansing white-light catharsis. Without this ponderous struggle, the backbreaking sludge/doom drudgery, any of the uplifting parts would lose meaning. As in life, both darkness and light have their place and one wouldn't be the same without the other. The raw emotions in the music and the underlying plaintive melodies are all too palpable, and the feeling is heightened in large part due to the burning intensity and desperation in the vocals. Pillar of Light have created an album that is poignant and more importantly relatable; it is soul-crushingly heavy, pinning down the mortal with the endless weight of struggle and torment and at the same time, invariably, ensuring that there's enough humanity in it for one to see things through.

"Certain End" LYRICS:
Sit down young man, I'm about to explain a feeling I pray you never have. I've said 'yes' for so long, now I must say 'no,' I know this hurts, but know it hurts me so much more than I have words for.
I feel the ache of our fall at Mauna Kea, those 22 years ago when God arrived and I met your soul. And I'm awoken by the pain from ‘Old Mountain’ where we gave blood and surrendered control.
The way in which I convey these to you is here, is now, but not forever.
Should the reasons for my pain become a mystery to me, a burden I will be. Forgive me for what I must do, but this means I've lost you, and if that is true I've lost myself too.
The way in which I convey these to you is here, is now, but not forever.
With tender hands I'll thread my own rope. We'll log Grand-Dad's old pine I've known my whole life. Six feet deep we'll sink the legs. In ten long breaths I'll bare all for the last time, summoning all that feels like 'me,' and with a leap of faith I'll say 'goodbye' to this cruel and magnificent world. I hope in time you can learn to forgive me, I hope….in time…thank you for loving me.
Thread my own rope,
Cut my own gallows,
Take my own leap,
Claim my own certain end.
Claim my own certain end.
