Hard to say anything inspired about this album. Really enjoyable and high quality, as was to be expected. Not really much has happened since the first EP, stylistically, but not much needed to happen either. It boils down to whether you like the songs more or not. I haven't listened to any of their releases enough to make educated statements about that. I bet I'm going to listen to this a lot in the months to come, but it's hard to give full appreciation to something so caught up in its choice of expression. The cover is fucking ugly and unnecessarily retro, though.

Written by Rulatore on 01.05.2013 at 05:22 I wouldn't necessarily say that. It's blatantly old-school and derivative, sure. But it also feels pretty sincere; they're playing the music they love and doing it well. That ugly cover implies they're intentionally (ironically?) retro, at least to me. Dunno, I just think it looks bad. Their previous ones were pretty effective, if unoriginal.

Good but... I don't know. There's too much Sabbath reap off in this album. I mean, their 1st album resembled Black Sabbath as well, but there was no reap off whereas in this album there are songs that have the riffs from songs like paranoid and symptom of the universe with just one or two notes changed. Overall good effort though, but weaker than the 1st one and the two EPs

Nice album, but, as it have already been mentioned, it sounds a bit too much like Sabbath (especially in vocal department). Other than that, it has some really good songs and some that are more mediocre.
