Album Notes & Community Reviews

More than three decades into their storied career, the British pioneers of death-doom masterfully blend the crushing weight of their early records with the sleek, melodic accessibility of their gothic metal era. The album fluidly shifts between majestic, synth-heavy clean passages and devastating, guttural doom riffs. It serves as a brilliantly diverse, highly confident career retrospective wrapped into a single, cohesive project.
