Beautiful bleakness

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The five songs running for almost one hour have many slower doomy sections but the rhytm is very much varied as are the melodies. There are some (unhappy) clean vocals but different shrieks, cries and growls are dominant. The guitars are also marvelous - accoustic layers over older-katatonia-like mid-tempos switch to pure down-tuned black metal fury, just to erupt in plentiful solos and then switch to doomy ambient... The mood of this record is bleak, yet there are many many beautiful melodic moments implying the hope to prevail against all the world's ills.

This is an amazing record and I can't get enough of it!"
