Description
The ominous, long-held opening chord on All Is Sorrow recalls the opening strains of Bach's famous "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"—minus the rapid-fire finger work. Oakland-based doom band Catapult The Dead prefer to take their time developing their songs. Case in point: they took a page out of Sleep's playbook by eschewing tracklistings and presenting All Is Sorrow as a single 37-minute track. For more than half an hour, their album's title track sprawls through eerie synth patches, haunting piano plunks and plenty of chugging, palm-muted guitar riffs and guttural growling—natch.
