Southern sludge/post-metal outfit Make are back after a 10-year absence and they’re back at playing weight, retooling and expanding their lineup for their fourth album, Exegesis at the End of Time. Arriving a decade after the last Make album, Exegesis sees new members John Crouch (drums) and Aaron Smithers (bass/synth/vocals) join the core duo of Scott Endres (guitar, vocals) and Spencer Lee (bass, guitar, vocals).
The songs on Exegesis at the End of Time feel larger and more monumental than anything Make have crafted before, taking the highs of their last release (2016’s Pilgrimage of Loathing) and expanding them into larger, more flowing compositions. There are traces of Neurosis and Isis throughout Exegesis, plus influence from Rosetta, Rwake and their ilk.
