John Lenin This is peak heavy psych. 10/10

Nik Havert It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia.

Here's my full review - www.7thlevelmusic.com?p=12710 Favorite track: Cerberus.

jamjamkiley 4 songs, 40 minutes, pure auditory gold!

Keebler Dilf This album is heavy as fuck and one of the reasons I find it near criminal that more people don't widely know their name. Obscure Sphinx fully crushes before rending mind asunder. And the final song is so haunting it cannot be understated. If there's any goddess at all in existence it's whatever inspired them to write this. Favorite track: Waiting For The Bodies Down The River Floating.

Ippocalyptica Sludgy post-metal has its greats: Neurosis effectively started the sub-genre, Isis gave us the all-time best effort in Panopticon, Cult of Luna is consistently excellent (if not quite my cup of tea), and Obscure Sphinx is just about the equal of all of the above, albeit way more under-appreciated. Void Mother is among the best albums of the bunch, and certainly the best from Obscure Sphinx. Heavy, hypnotic, and emotionally resonant, this is great - and it gets better with subsequent listens. Favorite track: The Presence Of Goddess.

knutepanhead Obscure Sphinx are absolutely AMAZING!! This is a tour-de-force. Nothing but great, heavy, dark songs. If I were going to lay in a tub and bleed out, I'd want "Presence Of Goddes" to be playing as I left this place. This is rare air. Majorly trippy and heavy. Cannot begin to tell you how underrated this fantastic band is. I'd follow them over a cliff. This is what I live for. Favorite track: The Presence Of Goddess.

jlj So tight! Great mix of tracks too; something for everyone! The Masque is steeped in 80s Metallica; love it! Favorite track: The Masque.

ij13 For an absolute powerhouse of a sludge band, this entire album is CLEAN!! It's everything you'd expect and want from Monolord, but the sound is more! Favorite track: You Bastard.

LordRockinghamm An absolute banger after a necessary break. The creative juices flow once again - in a river of gnarly heavy fuzz riffs and soaring vocals. Favorite track: Invisible.

Nqobani T Unlike all their previous releases, this is the first ATW album that had to grow on me, not sure why. It’s a really good album, not just a collection of songs. Favorite track: The Welterweight.

NikosToolnikc Watched AtW live at Athens this autumn - even though it was the last show of their European tour their performance was extraordinary - a fan since the early years - and still one of my top modern rock bands out there - one more great album, all songs are great

PS: guitar solo on Culling Line is a medicine for the soul
once again, thank you guys

dogma_jo Great blend, the guys are back! Favorite track: Red Rocking Chair.

Egg Wizard The lifework of a generational talent. So... grandiose, maximalist and filled to every sonic nook and cranny with Townsend artefacts; thundering guitars, blastbeats, blissful harmonic delays and reverbs, choirs, farts; guest spots from mentor Steve Vai and other Zappa alumni, Anneke, a killer soprano and a choir of 100, and probably God Himself; all explaining the meaning of life (or finding peace with suffering) from his compassionate and emotional perspective. You want fries with that? Favorite track: Stained Hearts.

erik maronde The Moth seems to me like the high point of all I like in his work (until last Friday that was "Empath"). A soundtrack so majestic that no pictures or movie is necessary. To me it produces its own pictures. And I haven't even really listened to the lyrics. Well done Devin, congratulations from a fan since 1993!

Abel Tasman Epic in grandeur and scale, a colossal work.
