Chase Wilson on Endless as a whole:
“The dreaded ‘sophomore slump’ is here, but we think we rose above that. Our debut LP The Burden Ov Faith was full of a lot of new elements and great ideas, but we really refined those and expanded further here. A huge benefit was having more time to really shape it and doing so in a dedicated studio session with Josh Schroeder, whereas LP1 was piecemealed together from many sessions across time and space. “Endless is a journey through eternal struggles and trying to find what we need to come to terms with them. We have all been through a lot of these different emotions and wrestled with the possibility there could never be an end.” Ricky Hoover (Vocals) on the album as a whole:
“This album pushed me to the edge! When it comes to vocal abilities, both in terms of screaming AND singing, accompanied by an increased presence by my co-captain Chase. Wait until you hear my falsetto in ‘Endless//Loveless’. There’s actually a cell phone video from the studio where you can see and hear how mindblown we all were because I didn’t tell anyone I was going to try that and that first take made the album! “It also pushed me lyrically. This album examines how real-life emotions and struggles would feel if they went on eternally: became ‘Endless,’ if you will. This forced me to really grapple with the emotions taken to their furthest point, which was taxing to say the least. Hopefully it resonates with listeners, who can find the joy in the here and now, rather than looking toward the Endless.” Purchase and stream Endless in its entirety here, and read on for some early reviews from media worldwide: “…executed with vicious might and emotional weight asking if this life is truly endless, and lays the foundations for a band who will rise steadily through the ranks.”
Kerrang! “Ov Sulfur have never sounded more deliberate, more ambitious, or more formidable and are without a doubt a band fully committed to facing the void, and daring the listener to follow.”
Wall of Sound “…some of the most unexpectedly melodic brutality the genre has produced in recent memory.”
Chaos Zine “…Endless capably demonstrates a band with razor-sharp songwriting and a courage to expand on the deathcore blueprint.”
Devolution Magazine “…’Endless’ pushes beyond sheer aggression, embracing atmosphere, melody, and introspection in ways that may surprise even longtime listeners.”
