Though often lumped in with New Orleans sludge bands like Eyehategod and Crowbar, Thou share a more spiritual kinship with ’90s proto-grunge bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden (all of whom they’ve covered extensively, both in the studio and onstage). The band’s aesthetic and political impulses reflect the obscure ’90s DIY hardcore punk found on labels like Ebullition, Vermiform, and Crimethinc. From 2004 through 2016, the band has released four full-length albums, six EPs (some bordering on full-lengths), two collaboration records with The Body and enough material spread out over splits to make up another four or five LPs.

Now, the group present Magus, their first full-length since 2014’s Heathen. While sonically, Magus may be a continuation of Heathen, thematically it stands as a stark rebuttal, a journey beyond the principles of pleasure and pain. It is more the culmination of these distinct EPs, which all orbit some internal black hole.

This LP format is pressed on magenta vinyl.
