Suffering the Storm is the third album by the American one-man band Potmos Hetoimos, released on June 1, 2007. Unlike the first two PH albums, there is no guitar anywhere on the album. Each song was written and performed entirely on bass. According to frontman Matt Matheson, "this allowed a totally unprecedented heaviness, and even added a little clarity to the production (as two downtuned guitars plus one downtuned bass can get quite muddy)."
Background[]
The album was recorded between sometime in early 2007 ("Into the Eye" and "Sky and Sea") and sometime in mid-2007 ("Flight of the Dove"), and then finally finished with the recording of "Flight of the Raven" in early 2008.
