Black double-vinyl in gatefold sleeve with 8 page booklet.

Background information about 'Wider Than The Sky'

40 Watt Sun returns with their most expansive and emotionally devastating work yet on "Wider Than The Sky". This monumental doom opus stretches across six epic compositions that showcase Patrick Walker's unparalleled ability to craft soul-crushing melodies that linger long after the final note fades. The album opens with the colossal "Stages", a 16-minute journey through layers of melancholy that builds from whispered vulnerability to crushing emotional weight. Walker's distinctive vocal delivery, paired with the band's signature slow-burn approach, creates an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife.

The remaining tracks continue this masterful exploration of human fragility and resilience. "Beyond You" and "Another Room" demonstrate the band's evolution from their Warning days, incorporating subtle progressive elements while maintaining that essential doom DNA. The album's shorter pieces like "Pictures" and "Marazion" prove that 40 Watt Sun can devastate just as effectively in condensed form. Every riff feels deliberate, every pause pregnant with meaning, making this essential listening for anyone who understands that true heaviness comes from the heart, not just volume.

For fans of:
Warning, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Anathema, Pallbearer, Bell Witch
