Supergroups usually fail, miserably falling under the weight of combined ego in the writing/recording room. When a supergroup works it’s like distant planets aligning, it’s like two neutron stars colliding, the product of which is pure gold. Deeper than Sky is all about energy and excitement, punky at times, thrashy at times, and always uniquely genuine. This record sounds like the product of a band that has been together for decades. There’s nostalgia here that is so absurdly fun to listen to and I want more. I want them to be together for decades to come. The fact that the lead vocalist also mans the helm of YOB, a man I bearhugged at the end of one of their shows, makes this album that much more meaningful to me.
