mathiusgrooves What a brilliant album! I love it so much, I even bought a physical copy. Such a shame the band is no longer together.

Darknight What a masterpiece this album is! The pure essence is doomy and sludgetastic, the songs are freaking EPIC. There's even an orchestra to add more depth and scariness to the record. Favorite track: Delphine La Laurie.

Jono Schneider So heavy and open, like being beneath the black empty sky at night atop a mountain.

TB Jørgensen It's a shame that the band is split up but at least they left us with this masterpiece - the number one doom/sludge record, period. Favorite track: Delphine La Laurie.
Tolujin

Tolujin Monumental doom structures punctuated by brutal dual vocals, scything tremolo leads and some clever surprises in the instrumentation. Tonally bright like post-rock rather than murky like doom, and all the more overwhelming that way. Favorite track: Perpetual Blindness.
Blesavi Danac

Blesavi Danac There is not much to say, other than this is gutwrenching, soulcrushing doom from deep within the bowels of... well, Copenhagen. Blast it. Favorite track: From The Trenches of Perception.
