The Clearing

VINYL FORMAT. Captured flawlessly-yet-viscerally by engineer/producer Kurt Ballou (Converge, Trap Them, Torche), The Clearing puts Disappearer in that rare air of having created an instant classic with their first proper album, one that will be passed down through the ages as a landmark recording that truly pushes heavy music forward. It strikes a harmonious balance of discordant guitar work, massive bass tone, soulful singing, and cathartic, purposeful drum striking. A truly cohesive album, the type that stays on a turntable for months on end.

The Clearing has given heavy music fans everywhere something to hold tightly for the rest of their lives.
