Heavier Than Thou

by Riff Merchant Records

supported by

Rumpel Vim I love how this tribute to Thou supposedly comprised of covers of Thou songs ends with a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song, and an excellent one at that. I have a The Body T-shirt with a printed photo of a glum Stevie Nicks subtitled with a depressing quote from "Planets of the Universe." Stevie Nicks and metal: a match made in hell. Favorite track: The Chain - Chained To The Bottom Of The Ocean.

chrundle giving Thou taste of their own medicine! how do you like being covered, ya loveable dorks?

The Goon I have a confession. While I appreciate and respect what Thou does, I’ve never really enjoyed listening to them. So I was shocked when I liked this so much. Amazing covers! Truly some of the heaviest songs I’ve ever heard.

about

Thou fucking rules. Their contributions to the world of heavy music are innumerable. Their penchant for playing cover songs and participating in fundraisers for various causes is a huge inspiration.

To pay homage to the NOLA sludge titans, we've brought together 6 bands to cover some of Thou's songs and donated the digital sales to House of Tulip NOLA..We raised over $600 for House Of Tulip!

This organization provides housing and other supports to members of the Trans and Gender Non-Conforming Community. Learn more here: houseoftulip.org

Thanks again for all the support y'all.

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
