Album Notes & Community Reviews

Enduring significant lineup instability, frontman Magnus Pelander steers the Swedish doom-rock outfit into incredibly dark, melancholic territory. The album slows their signature retro-rock sound to a heavy, sprawling crawl, featuring extended instrumental passages and somber acoustic interludes. It is a brooding, deeply passionate exploration of classic heavy psych that stands as one of their most emotionally raw releases.
