The hefty and dire atmosphere is perfectly accentuated by that melodic guitar tone that weaves its way through each sprawling track adding clarity and beauty. However, it is all ripped down and muddied by the sinister vocals, which are that gravelly deep tone that befits both death and doom so wonderfully.
The pacing and song lengths on this album are spot on, and it again hits that sweet spot between both genres. When it veers into some more sludgy or brutal points, it is absolutely crushing. Lorenzo
I’d like everyone reading this to note the number of times the word “riffs” appears in the reviews; it gives a good indication of what to expect here, though it’s not the only notable thing about this album. The production, somehow clean and yet perfectly murked up at the same time, is spot on, and the anti-paint-by-numbers approach to song craft helps keep everything fresh and unpredictable, especially for such a heavy record. Super high-quality disso death, not to be missed! MJ
