Breaching is the debut album from Leeds-based, six-piece, post-metallers Hundred Year Old Man. Hot on the heels of their recent Rei EP (GZH 081EP), Breaching emits the same heaving intensity and unforgiving, wall of sound approach. Dense and billowing riffs are intertwined with field recordings and spoken-word passages to form an unyielding, sprawling piece of work that delivers the bands artistic vision perfectly. The more ambient, drone sections of the record compliment and allow the real songs to take flight. Debut single "Black Fire" is reworked to give the track a new lease of life, whilst the other heavy hitters here; "The Forest", "Long Wall", "Disconnect", and "Ascension" are a continuation of the excellent work found on the Rei EP. Breaching contains masses of atmosphere and is a ferocious and immersive listening experience. An epic, monolithic voyage full of texture, depth, aggression, and emotion. Breaching is an album that should be approached as a whole, with patience and attention. The rewards will deliver a unique, crushing and quite simply superb record. Mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna).
