Soijl are a one man (kind of) death doom project of Mattias Svensson, whom you might know from a stint with Saturnus. After six years as a side project, recruiting Henrik Kindvall to growl, rasp and bellow, and some positive response to demos, he got in gear and set out to record Endless Elysian Fields.

With Endless Elysian Fields they attempted to force themselves into the minds of the suicidal and write from the point of view of the bleakest, darkest moments. Total despair. Fear. Misery. Woe. Gastric discomfort after eating an absurdly spicy meal. Distraught fragility. <Insert more terms I've used in prior doom reviews here.>

Good debut, solid death doom, clear reference to Saturnus.
A bit too much run of the mill though at times for me. Still more to find here than on their second album.
I guess I prefered the first half to the second, should check again though at second spin ...some time soon...
