The Helm of Sorrow is the new limited-edition EP, born from the collaboration between Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou, and presents itself as the discreet continuation of the excellent May Our Chambers Be Full, a full-length album released in December 2020. In the vein of the album, The Helm of Sorrow sees Emma’s post-rock-infused folk collide with Thou’s detuned sludge-doom. At once heavy and melodic, melancholic and visceral, this is a resolutely original artistic offering, much needed in our time, and brilliantly complemented by the graphic work of photographer Craig Mulcahy.
