 Rating: - Buy NowI'd like to start of by stating that I enjoy bands like Opeth, Ahab and November's Doom. My review is from that perspective. This is the first album I bought from the band; they were recommended to me by a friend. This album is amazing. From the first track, I was hooked. The opener starts off quiet and then explodes in to a heavy, catchy riff. I personally enjoy the contrasting clean and harsh vocals. The first song is a perfect example of this contrast combining to create one ...

"Hope" by Swallow the Sun ends that stereotype. In this album, I find a perfectly satisfying balance of immeasurable sadness, darkness, and heaviness.

Buy the album; you won't regret it! Rating: - Dark Depressive Doom Metal This CD is one of my favs of the year...If you like your metal dark, depressing but melodic than this is the cd for you. Great Guitar melodies, Keyboards give that great dark atmosphere...Growling vox give the dark aspect of this music, and the clean vox are haunting.. production of this cd is top knotch, bass is loud and clean, guitars are most powerful and vocal tracks are simply awesome. if you are new to the doom genre than this is a "MUST HAVE" ( Katatonia, My Dying Bride Fans will like it ) |
