Vocally, bigLOVE counterbalances the saccharine nature of their melodies with corrosive and hymnal omnipotence.In an effort to eliminate unnecessary selfscrutiny and create instinctively, bigLOVE recorded Crusaders of Joy as it was being written - with the release's fnal takes being recorded moments after each part was fnalised in the writing. Recorded between 2019 and 2020 before being mastered by UK audio savant Lewis Johns at The Ranch, Crusaders of Joy possesses a preternatural warmth in it’s production that beguiles as well as engulfs. The debut full length is adroitly tied together thematically by Maria Nemm’s (Holy Fawn, Slow Crush, Anthetic) album cover photography, adding another dimension to bigLOVE’s enigma of obscurity and ubiquity.In the context of the modern age paradox of instantaneous connection and spiritual disconnect, Crusaders of Joy triumphs in it’s harnessing of love as philosophy, as it spiritualizes sludge and doom metal’s sonic weight to transcendental heights. Across the vast ocean of time, love remains at the core of all it is to be human. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP Tracks: Harnessing The Nectar From The Queen Bee \/ A Grand Declaration Of The Gods \/ At One With \/ Forever Intimate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHURCH ROAD RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41751702274204,"sku":"CRR110V","price":23.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_4bcb444a-dc04-4a35-9839-fe6a09f9747f.jpg?v=1657293821","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/biglove-crusaders-of-joy-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
