Info -
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.

For fans of - Amenra, God’s Tower, Cult of Luna, Neurosis

LYRICS FOR "Wolf to Man"

Of my hands it was tasked. Of my eyes it imposed. A vision unfaithful to the likes of man. “Man as wolf to Man.”
Thy will be done.

It came in a sadistic whisper, a still, small, menacing voice. It asked too much of me. It asked too much of me.
Thy will be done.

Thy will is a blade, I wielded decidedly.
Thy will is blood, it showered me in certainty.
Thy will is mud, dust to dust, for eternity.

Tho my body is captive, the scales are lifted.
Tho I've met my impasse, I have seen the light.

Conviction came with gavel and rod, but conviction is hollowed by those who've not heard, let alone, known the voice of God.

Even in this savage spectacle I feel you breathe down my neck. I know you seethe, I know you salivate. Through your teeth you try to veil your hate. In your grinning faces I see my fate.

Level your scorn while I stand in light.
It’s not you I answer to, goodnight.
Goodnight.
