"When it comes to doom, I expect gigantic music — not just in sound or sheer weight, though, but in that more indescriptible room-filling, head-invigorating way... Also important is the element of beauty, because what’s more beautiful than tragedy?" - Invisible Oranges wrote in expectation of the new album by UK doom metal band Garganjua (it's out this week). "This is emotive, almost uplifting music for total devastation", IO concludes. Listen to 'The New Sun' below, and the album-closing song 'To Ascend' lower below.
