"In the past nine years of its existence, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean has been on a journey towards their eponymous location. Don't get me wrong: it's not like their first release could ever be described as "light". But there was a dynamism there that offset the heaviness of the music in a way that has slowly faded to black with each album. This is not a criticism; this is a good thing. The result of this fading is the sound we find on Let Us Not Speak Of Them But Look And Pass On, the band's latest release. It continues the trend of the band's career, delving ever deeper into sludge, almost funeral doom in its unfurling, inky structure. It is also perhaps the band's most successful interrogation of this sound, filled to the brim with the earnest and haggard anger and pain that keep me coming back to their releases." - HEAVY BLOG IS HEAVY
