Cairn continues to build upon the foundation of existential
exploration and personal suffering wrought by religion, nature, and
life itself that the artist’s prior two albums laid (S/T – 2012; “Yodh” –
2016). Cairn muses on the absurd premise that is human experience:
life is devoid of ultimate meaning and mankind can’t help but
continually seek meaning in it despite this. Lyrically influenced by the
works of Albert Camus, A.L.N. (Mizmor) has created sonic power so
big and so full of existential dread, it demands your undivided
attention.

Over the four tracks (spanning almost 60 minutes), A.L.N.’s ability to
effortlessly intertwine black metal, doom, and drone – all while
retaining pummeling emotional power and momentum – proves
Mizmor is an unstoppable force than spans across genres of heavy
metal.
