1) Mortals, Cursed to See the Future
Filled with menace and darkness, Cursed to See the Future is an immense ride over six tracks, with most tracks being over eight minutes long. As heavy as Mortals are, this is my kind of front-to-back album, filled with ups and downs that allow for repeat listens. A fantastic Relapse Records debut, and hopefully the first of many to come.
Key Track: “The Summoning”
