Wither On The Vine is the third full-length release by the Northern Irish doom metal band Darkest Era, and as it happens, this is only their first release in over eight years. So, has the enduring wait after those lengthy eight years actually been worth it? Well I'm sure you will be pleased to know that the answer from me is a strong and definite yes, it's certainly been well worth the wait; I mean, this could even well be a deserving contender for AOTY in my eyes.
I'm really liking the style and sound of this band it's great stuff. It has some really striking melodies, great vocals, and a surprisingly perfect balance of doom, folk and heavy metal, and there's an elegance about it. The last three tracks in particular stood out for me most especially "The Ashen Plague".

Exactly what you say, with the exception that I cannot single out a favourite track. It's my album of the year by quite a margin. Gives me goosebumps.
Now this a is blast from the past as I haven't listened to this band for ages. Yet another really enjoyable album and the vocals are as impressive as ever.
