Sabbath Assembly - Restored to One



Well updates are coming less frequently than I had anticipated but finding a job to pay rent and fund further purchases is slightly more important. Sabbath Assembly is a 2 piece fronted by Jex Thoth and is centered around the hymns and writings of the Process Church of the Final Judgement. It feels like a recreation that appeals to the current generation but still keeping that psychedelic folk feel of the 60's. The entire album is amazingly atmospheric and beautiful from start to finish, it grows on me each time I spin it. I bought this on impulse after stumbling upon a track online and snatching up one of the three copies left on the Ajna Offensive site. I didn't know a whole lot about the church outside of the bits and pieces I've come across over the years. After picking up this album I did some solid reading about the history of the church and it's pretty fucking interesting and worth a read, plus I feel knowing the history makes this album that much better. The first pressing came on 180 gram gold vinyl limited to I believe 500(?) and a white repress. It doesn't look like it's for sale on The Ajna Offensive anymore but still may be available via Feral House. Pick this up, and turn it up loud enough so you're able to ignore everything for the next hour, fucking do it.
