about

First released in 2004, here's the original description of the album:

This record could well be called the soundtrack to a deteriorating American landscape. WELCOME THE PALGUE YEAR's debut full length is 9 tracks of graceful brutality dispersed over 40 minutes. Expanding on the foundation laid by their previous bands (MAKARA/YOU AND I/NEIL PERRY/JOSHUA FIT FOR BATTLE), WTPY introduce new elements to a horrifically heavy sound base in crafting more texturally developed songs. The plague year travel seemlessly from one end of the volume scale to the other with both urgency and restraint all the while harnessing the familiar feelings of abandonment and hope. Layers of pummeling rythyms, driving guitars, moody melodies, and scathing vocal tantrums integrate with quiet and sometimes sparse soundscape to make this a powerful and truely unique record.

Know how Matthew Stewart talks about being in the right place and right time? This is the right place and the right time, no matter the decade you were born in. Closed hands, open arms, notjing you have ever thought will be worthless, after hearing it repeated from these guys. Their sadness saved us from anything worse than death. [if it exists] karinavr
