I bought this album expecting doom, got an album full of eclectic heavy rock that is closer to American bands like Mastodon than British Doom ala Cathedral. Still, the vocals are absolutely gorgeous, the production is lush and punchy, the melodies ebb and flow. This album is a like a warm blanket on a cold winter's evening. And yes, there are nods to that classic British doom sound dispersed throughout the album. Not quite what I had expected, but a fantastic album nonetheless.

German Stoner / Doom Metal. This is quite unique imho... :) Especially the first track where I get quite a few Black Sabbath vibes - with no Ozzy obviously & then there are the doom vocals with some BM addition on top - what a mix... :) It all works very well too! A crushing album! There is even meant to be a little man at the bottom of the cover carrying a beacon of hope - he has been crushed out of existence too - all meant in the best possible way... :) Thanks Vast Pyre! Recommended!
