Mar 24, 2015What keeps The Ark Work from being just another metal album with non-metal influences, and elevates it above a post-modern stunt, is the uncompromising, uncategorizable beast that results from this vision.
-
Mar 25, 2015The Ark Work pays tribute to Hunt-Hendrix’s dogged desire to push listeners’ buttons. Sure, this could all be a massive wind-up, but to these ears Liturgy seem to have melted down the traditional ingredients of black metal and crafted it into something unyielding, unique and ultimately engrossing.
-
Mar 27, 2015The Ark Work is best at its most explorative rather than its most punishing.
-
Kerrang!Mar 19, 2015When they're good, they are astounding, and almost impossible to adequately describe. When they miss the mark, though, this lot grate. [7 Mar 2015, p.54]
-
Apr 3, 2015With repeated listens, though, the insistent aural assault actually reveals some good ideas, but it’s hard to imagine anyone frequently listening to The Ark Work for pleasure.
-
Mar 27, 2015Ultimately, it frustrates because the listener doesn't get much in the way of reward for the chore of endurance.
-
Mar 20, 2015It's executed incredibly well for what it is, but what we're left with is ugly, soulless and emotionally bankrupt.
