This actually sounds interesting.
Maybe it's time I come back to some death/doom. The review made me curious. Now let's see what I think. |

Getting back into death doom? This album is a great place to start. Also check out Process of Guilt (mentioned in the review) if this floats your boat.
PS - Marcel will have undoubtedly noticed by now me recommending doom bands, so be prepared for a list of bands that you have to check out.  |

My highest rating since I Shalt Become's "Poison". I wrote that review on August 1st, 2010. |

Good review, so far it sounds good, reminds me a bit (vocals) of Mayhem with Attila in the mix a'la Ordo Ad Chao. Nice  |

Thanks! Ordo Ad Chao is awesome, and Attila is a great vocalist. I can hear a bit of similarity, but I'd say Attila's vocals are more...monster-ish? That could have been a result of the production though.

 I was going to use "esoteric", but whenever you use a word that's synonymous with a big-name band in a review, people don't realize you actually aren't drawing a comparison to said band.
Maybe it would have led to more people checking it out though...

Thanks for the comment. I'd say it's more than yummy - it's delicious. |

| This reminds me a bit of early My Dying Bride. Awesome! |

| I only got about halfway through the record coz I'm tired but it's pretty impressive stuff so far. The best parts for me are those clean bits that rear their heads every now and then, so very Lurker of Chalice. I look forward to absorbing the rest tomorrow. |

Had a chance to give the rest a listen? I'm curious about your thoughts on "Lunacy" (mostly because it's my favorite song on the album).  |

I've given it a couple of run throughs and the record really does have it all going on, there's a heck of a lot to it. A couple of listens isn't nearly enough to sort out what song does what just yet but I think it was Lunacy and Illumination that particularly did it for me. |

| Hmm, I've listened to it a few times now. I'm not sure I can get 100% behind all this hype. It's quality stuff but it didn't immediately stand out as something extraordinary. The production could be better (heavier and bassier, especially), and there aren't too many memorable melodies and hooks. I'm definetely getting a good vibe and they'll surely grow on me, though. Great recommendation, great (descrptive, informative) review. |

Just felt the need to clear one part up, the way I understand it: I'm pretty much the only one hyping this (to my knowledge); it's not getting the Nevermore treatment where it's advertised as the album of the year before it's even released.
Obviously you have the right to your own opinion though, and I appreciate the thought behind your critique. Thanks for the compliment too. |

Hehe, OK: I guess the hype consists of you and !J.O.O.E.! and both of you tend to have great taste from what I've seen, so I was pretty excited too.  But yeah, this'll probably be among my top doom records 2011 at the end of the year. |

Each to his own: to me, the lack of overtly brumming bass and supercrushing, exaggeratingly distorted guitar sounds were exactly the reason why this album grew up on me immediately. A bit lighter approach lets the songs breathe and stand on their own, makin the experience one notch more haunting. Still, this does not actually reduce the abrasiveness of material, more like emphasizing the bleakness. On emotions level, this makes me feel like it's heart of winter again... While I awaited more BM style approach from it, based on few shortish audio samples Ahdistuksen Aihio provided, the gloomy Doom contained was more than pleasant surprise. This album is undoubtedly very good. I'll probably be returning to this piece of art often in the near future. |

A lot of people who've listened to it haven't rated it in the discography section (myself included), and if I'm not mistaken, the one who gave it a 6 is a fan of a lot of melodic metal, meaning this album probably didn't suit his taste. |

MY REVIEW WAS BEFORE EVERYBODY'S, MWAHAHAHA
No, in actuality I think a few were published when the vinyl was released, but not many had written one for the CD version by the time mine was up.
I'm a trendsetter baby. A shepherd to the sheep. |

I'm a witness, I read it before Troy's was up and can testify in court. But really Troy you better get a good lawyer, or you might as well pop your rectal cherry yourself. I actually read 2 reviews on this album before you posted yours up, and one of them was also posted before Lords of Metal. So technically both Troy and LOM are followers/sheep.
Seriously though this album makes me think of a slower version of Hooded Menace, I might talking out of my ass, but I think it applies. |
