Liturgy -- "High Gold"

I am not normally prone to this "type" of music, but when done artfully and in a nature that isn't just meant to be only in your face, it is often a nice change of pace from the norm. Liturgy is a Brooklyn black metal trio who absolutely slay. Their second album, Aesthethica, not just makes your ears bleed, it kicks the crap out of you and will leave your body sore after every listen. I mean this in the best way possible though. This is intense music, which I love, because it's full-blooded and not fake in the slightest. Often bands create a faux intensity (cough* Sleigh Bells cough*) that just sounds obnoxious, but this a record that just makes me feel so alive. Below is the opening track that will certainly take you on a ride... to hell. Enjoy!
