ummsbiaus ~ Enerhomor Suite No. 2, Op. 5

The Lumberjack Feedback ~ Stronghold
We dare any post-metal-loving listener to resist the power of The Lumberjack Feedback after viewing the video for “Failing to Witness His Mighty Work.” This French quintet is very into its music, and after hearing an album with two drummers, it
