Not Original, but Not Bad!

"These morose Italians deliver typical My Dying Bride-esque Doom MeTal, and though they are nothing very original, their material is pretty good. The vocals on one of the tracks are strangely squeaky/croaking, but usually they are the low Death MeTal-type growling Doom vocals. There is a cover of Katatonia's "Brave" on here, as well. Though it is classified as an e.p., the length of the songs makes it well over a half-hour long.....I have "albums" shorter than this e.p.! It is well-produced and well-performed, and is on the harsher end of the Doom spectrum. So if you are looking for some melodious, melancholy crooning, don't look here! But if you can take the abrasive type of Doom MeTal vocals, give it a listen."
