Post-metal is an inherently self-indulgent genre, where bands posture about ideals and enrapture your world with apocalyptic soundscapes, but sometimes that's what makes it awesome. In the tradition of legendary outfits Neurosis and Godspeed You! Black Emperor (who aren't metal but have an immeasurable impact on all things post), Light Bearer continue to up the ante on multi-dimensional album-crafting. The story behind Lapsus and Silver Tongue is as important as the thunderous musical creations themselves, and is required reading for fans seeking the full experience intended by the band.
