Built from the bones of post-metal stalwarts Sarin (Prosthetic Records), and with members of Guelph’s Teleportoise and London, UK’s Fuckjar, Toronto’s BIG PIT offer a more urgent take on the genre of their predecessor.
Equal parts uplifting and punishing, the quartet aim to paint a fuller picture of the human experience than is often reflected in metal. A song can be joyous, major and energizing at one moment; scathing, off-kilter and ugly the next.
Tied together by a tonal density that makes any live show a test of will, BIG PIT construct a journey through places heavy music seldom goes.

Do you like ISIS? Miss em? Then get this! Once you get past the obvious ISIS worship on display here, you get a pretty solid post-metal album. Highly recommended. Michael Kaczmer

Perfectly composed and executed post-metal, drawing off those that have come before, but bringing a unique addition to the genre. Atmospheric goodness plus the crushing. Underrated band. Tim Burke
