Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly inventive California-based ensemble delivers a remarkably heavy, deeply conceptual final album focused entirely on the ancient Mediterranean civilization of Crete. 'Minoans' flawlessly integrates remarkably prominent, highly melodic cello arrangements into the band's signature, agonizingly slow sludge metal guitar riffs. The record is a wonderfully eclectic, profoundly aquatic, and beautifully melancholic historical doom metal epic.
