Eagerly awaited 2013 studio album from the Prog Rock band. The Weight of the World sees Sanguine Hum expand their musical horizons on all fronts with a seven-track collection of diverse compositions - technically challenging and exciting yet always melodic and direct. Songs such as 'From the Ground Up' and 'System for Solution' pursue the Porcupine Tree meets Radiohead approach of the debut record Diving Bell with powerful yet intricate riffs propelling the songwriting that continues to make ever more inventive use of surprising twists and turns in the arrangement. Perhaps even more exciting for a band that perhaps held some of their Progressive influences in check on their debut album, is the 15-minute title track that manages the task of combining effective and emotional songwriting with thrilling musical developments that push the band to the limit.
