Agriculture return with The Spiritual Sound, a defiant and emotionally charged album that pushes beyond passive listening and digital noise. Drawing from a lineage of expansive and confrontational metal - think Deafheaven, Lingua Ignota, and Swans - the Los Angeles-based band build on their ecstatic black metal foundations to offer something both raw and transcendent. Side A erupts with cathartic intensity, while side B burns with devotional weight. The album’s power lies in the complementary visions of songwriters Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson. Meyer grapples with collapse and divinity through sonic chaos, while Levinson grounds her writing in queer history and daily survival, resisting myth and easy narrative. Their contrasting approaches merge into a unified spiritual grammar — not separate songs, but one collective expression.
