Thou - Summit (2010)


Thou is a doom/sludge/drone metal band from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.  Their lyrics mostly deal with death and social decay.  Many of their lyrics are skeptical of religion and the herd mentality of society at large.  "The exhortations of traditionalism ring hollow: the echoing footsteps of cross-bearing martyrs, the rejection of free will, the inability to meet the challenge of critical thought and individualism."  When you examine many of the interesting frontiers of neurobiology, the traditional ideas of free will start to become muddled, but I believe they're more rejecting the notion of theists in which God has granted us free will, to reject or believe in him according to our own wishes and actions.  They also have a song called "Smoke Pigs"... just sayin'...
