Sackcloth And Ashes, The Ostrich Dies On Monday is the third studio album by Canadian post-genre band Submission Hold. It was released in 2001 by Green Noise Records. The album is a departure from the band's previous work, which was more rooted in hardcore punk. Sackcloth And Ashes, The Ostrich Dies On Monday is a more experimental and atmospheric album, with elements of post-rock, folk, and even classical music. The album's title track is a 12-minute epic that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a slow-burning, atmospheric track that builds to a crescendo of noise and feedback. Other notable tracks include "The Last Gasp Of The Dying Sun," "The Ballad Of The Suicide Bomber," and "The Funeral March Of The Bourgeoisie."
