A wonderful use of organ in a drone context. Any one of these pieces could be expanded into a full-length release of their own, yet they all end well before outstaying their welcome.
Part of me wonders whether that's part of the intent of this release: To repeatedly put you in mind of being on the cusp of some kind of ecstatic break-through before having it snatched away from you. Nate Collins

L'espace d'une seconde, j'ai eu l'envie d'écrire que A Bureaucratic Desire For Extra-Capsular Extraction était une chevauchée fantastique ; mais je me suis dit que, en considérant le poids du drone/doom metal plombé de Earth, j'avais l'impression d'être sous les sabots des chevaux plutôt qu'en selle. Cette compilation ne renferme que le désespoir (la performance de Kurt Cobain sur "A Bureaucratic Desire For Revenge") et la crasse (Joe Preston piétine tout de sa batterie sur"German Dental Work").

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016
An earthy amalgam of American Primitive, spiritual jazz, and drone from this Seattle group is full of orbiting melodies and forest vibes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2023

There's not many metal albums that simply don't need vocals to convey the emotions and tell the stories, but this one nails it. It's less of a collection of songs one after the other and more a story that unfolds in sections as you listen. A must have for atmo-black/melodic metal fans. Omnio
