I wonder if anybody's ever gonna beat Shape Of Despair as far as heaviness and slowness are concerned... Seldom have I heard something slower than Angels Of Distress. Slower than that would be going backwards. Shape Of Despair or the art of playing riffs that last four minutes each... Now I know what funeral doom is supposed to be.

Great album, but Shades Of... is way better than this one. So it's actually quite a disappointment seeing as I expected so much from this album (as it's hailed as their best album).

The most boring music i've ever heard in my life...white noise is more interesting.

Awesome FD album. I'm not super big into the genre but this album hits all the doom marks IMO. Love the strings. A little bit more upbeat than others in the genre.

The title-track is now a modern classic of the genre. Absolutely gorgeous.
