Churchburn – None Shall Live… The Hymns of Misery
Blackened sludge/doom gem, Churchburn, returns with their sophomore full-length release, None Shall Live… The Hymns of Misery (Armageddon Shop). This record is equally bleak as it is heavy across each track. There are great sections of songs where you can really bang your head to and then the next minute the tempo slows way down and you can feel the walls around you melt. Getting seven amazing tracks seems like the perfect length as well, so the album does not overstay its welcome, yet is still enjoyable.Continue reading

Added to this, we now know from statements emanating from both Malakian and Serj Tankian that some of the tracks on the second Scars… album, Dictator (independent release) had been mooted for a potential SOAD reunion album, but with that possibility, seemingly increasingly distant, Malakian, who recorded all the instruments as well as the songwriting and performing the vocals, has taken the step of releasing the album after sitting on the tracks for six years.Continue reading
