The Burden ov Faith is the debut studio album by the American deathcore band Ov Sulfur, released on March 24, 2023. The album features several guest vocalists including Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail) in "Befouler" and Howard Jones (Light the Torch, ex-Killswitch Engage) in "Wide Open".[9] Vocalist Ricky Hoover stated, "I've always been a big fan of people writing their own parts for guest spots. I send them the lyrics and the vibe of the song and then encourage them to listen to the song and see what it evokes in them, I want it to feel as natural and real as possible."[10]
"Earthen" was written about Hoover's nephew who died from cancer at the age of 16.[11] Ov Sulfur promoted the album with a North American tour in April and May 2023, supporting Chelsea Grin, Carnifex, and Left to Suffer.[12]
Reception
Blabbermouth's Dom Lawson assigned the album a rating of seven and described its production as "crisp and shiny but raw and jagged enough to draw blood."[13] Mike Kaplan of Sputnikmusic noted, "Grating highs, bellowing lows, and kind ov irritating squeals dominate the album's runtime."[14]
