SLAVES BENEATH THE SUN

by PROCESSOFGUILT

supported by

Deadpanist A remarkable follow-up to Black Earth. SBTS exits the Neurosis influence of earlier releases and adds more Brotzmann Massaker-early SWANS-Godflesh sonorities. The mix sounds absolutely fantastic. Whatever drive the guitars have, it sounds heavy yet clear, the bass and drums bulldozing their way through. If you like crushing, monolithic, bludgeoning mid-tempo apocalyptic tunes, this is a no-brainer. These fine folks get it. 2022 AOTY as far as I'm concerned.

Michael Carter This is their most astonishing album,in terms of mellowing,they have not.This has the anger and frustration of Hymns by Godflesh.I do not mean to do this album a disservice by comparing to another,but that album came into my mind,initially,before being gathered up and swallowed by this records sheer passion!

Obstacle of Affliction This is the perfect soundtrack for when you are secluded in some candle lit room and flogging yourself.
Punishing yet cathartic.
I mean who hasn't turned off all the lights, lit some candles, and just whip the shit out of themselves?
...anyone?

Darknight Process of Guilt return with one of thee amazing albums of 2022, by using darkness to bludgeon us all into the earth and creating an epic feeling of total punishment. Six songs that you need to immerse yourself into fully and realise you have just been baptised by a million tazers. Process of Guilt just get better with each release, awesome album. Favorite track: Host.

about

What the media have been saying about 'SLAVES BENEATH THE SUN'

"You have to look deep within yourself to see your true interests and people knowing when to pick up and move towards where you belong. One piece of work isn’t inherently better than the other, but this is a piece I can jump into any day. For me personally, there’s beauty In Slaves Beneath The Sun that I could never find in a mandolin cocooned in fiddles."
Richard Murray / Sleeping Shaman
tinyurl.com/5fcdhcbb

"Process of Guilt are the ideal singers of the discomfort of modern man, and in doing so they appear more integral and credible than many more celebrated realities among those stylistically contiguous."
Stefano / MOURNFUL SOUNDS
rb.gy/7ewj3q

"the monochrome artwork reflects the tone of the album; there’s minimal vibrancy or colour to be found in the bleakly atmospheric builds, the grim, lightly dissonant riffs and the harsh, yet impressively tonal, vocals."
Musclassia / METAL STORM
rb.gy/hs8kni

"Those who love these hopeless sounds will immediately understand what this record is made of, a remarkable example of damned and beautiful music. We move through icy waves, flames coming out of nowhere, in a musical magma with perfect spines, for a work that is a candidate for album of the year, confirming the great releases that Alma Mater Records is putting together."
Massimo Argo / IYEZINE
rb.gy/3wnl5h

"(...) listening to "Slaves...," one gets the impression that each episode has been more finely chiseled with the passion and attention of the best craftsmen, where the reworking of the teachings of the masters is perfectly matched with smoothness in listening and a clearer expressive simplicity. Pieces like "Scars" and "Breathe" show how Process Of Guilt are now flat-out masters of this post/sludge style with a dry, raw and peremptory foundation, where quotations often give way to a heartfelt interpretation with evocative solid power (...)"
Luca Pessina / METALITALIA
rb.gy/zkmhhr

"It is safe to say that PROCESSOFGUILT (...) have, by now in their career, reached a level of maturity that is usually reserved for the leading bands, artistically speaking, in their stylistic fields, operate within the parameters they themselves have created, and are already, as far as possible, above any faux-pas that "lesser" groups may face."
José Carlos Santos / LOUD! Magazine
rb.gy/eqxhgl

"On their 5th album, PROCESSOFGUILT bring together the overwhelming power of "FÆMIN" with the best conclusions of the paradigms they explored on "Black Earth". In this way, "Slaves Beneath The Sun" is the quartet's new discographic pinnacle."
Nero / ROMA INVERSA

Unsettling Whispers

supported by 23 fans who also own “SLAVES BENEATH THE SUN”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
