Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of just four monolithic tracks spanning 75 minutes, the Australian doom metal pioneers' fourth album is an exercise in majestic devastation. It relies on agonizingly slow tempos, beautifully layered clean guitars, and crushing, guttural misery to craft a truly epic funeral doom experience.
