It took me about one minute to realize Novembers Doom's latest is a drastic improvement over their previous release. They have found that ideal balance between dark, melodic death and the pulsing, downbeat of doom, and do it with arrangements and production that is assertive yet fluid. For fans of deeply personal lyrics, Paul Kuhr has always been one of the best around, and he's as drastic as ever here. And to top it off, fans of Anneke van Giersbergen will find her doing an excellent guest appearance with Paul as well (and in the available video track)!

Oh, and did I mention how great they are live?

A decent album, but - aside from the great vocals - I don't hear that much of interest happening. Although entertaining, it's not top 10 material in my opninion.

Obviously a bit late, but what the hell. We don't limit ourselves to only allowing metal-related ads here, anybody can buy ad space here.
