The fifth studio album by Chicago art metal band Yakuza is their debut for the Canadian label Profound Lore, home to many other acts with a more expansive vision of heavy music than that of their peers on, say, Roadrunner. Minsk bassist Sanford Parker produced Of Seismic Consequence (he also worked on Yakuza's 2007 album Transmutations), giving it a full, organic sound that suits the band's thrashy yet psychedelic music.

Only for completionists (6%). There's one gripe with this album though and that is the mastering. Everything is a blur of mid-level equalizing, leaving the lower end without any oomph and the higher end flat and dry. Even some serious EQ-ing doesn't help much. Especially the fast and heavy tracks lose lots of their dynamics because of it. Luckily 3/4 of the album is rather calm and brings in the needed dynamics despite of the deafeningly flat sound. This is nothing less of a post-sludge masterpiece with astonishingly original music and excellent songwriting. The lifeless production could have been better though.

Despite the particularly annoying thorn of Lamont’s singing, Of Seismic Consequence is an absorbing art metal album with plenty of burbling riffs and hypnotic atmospheric passages. I highly enjoyed The Ant People, the droning Farewell To the Flesh, and the raging pummeler Good Riddance (The Knuckle Walkers). Bu. just can’t quite agree with the praises of this album. However artistic Consequence may be, it isn’t all that groundbreaking (sounds a lot like Mastodon tripping ball., and it still falls a bit short the masterpiece I was promised.
