Not really to be honest. I hear a slightly mediocre doom band that saves itself from obscurity by applying quite some variety in their songs. From depressing melancholic passages, to drone-like soundscapes in the vein of Sunn 0))). But with drums of course. Also I hear quite some resemblances with Earth, when the distortion is taken off and slow melodies and beats are played I just cannot help but think of the later work from Earth. Huge compliment for them, I might say.

 

The thing that annoys me a bit while listening to this album is the vocal department. Haunted high screams (but not in the standard �metal�way) that sound like total panic and agony are the main way of conveying the lyrics, while the occasional grunt makes sure this doesn�t get too annoying. Fact is that this album lasts for over an hour, so it is quite a task to listen to these vocals the entire time.

 

Overall I think this is a reasonable band for the genre. Nothing that will turn the doom metal world upside down, but a nice depressing release that will please fans of stuff like Bethlehem (their main source of inspiration), Abruptum, Saint Vitus and Burning Witch.
