Amazing.

"if there is anyone wondering which material to buy from this band, this is it. it is slow, brooding and heavy as hell, but definitely not for those short on patience or attention span.



most of the songs on this album, with the exception of 'heart eaters' (clocking in at 4:57) are upwards of 10 minutes, and they definitely take their sweet time getting to where they're going (which is a good thing).



everything about these recordings is amazing; the vocals all fit and compliment the instrumental work (which is amazing as well), especially in the song 'heart eaters' (my personal favorite).



many people will compare this to isis or neurosis, but i'd compare it more to salvation by cult of luna, or even MARE's ep (which is also equally amazing).



so if you're looking for some slow, brooding very atmospheric sludge or doom type metal with some post-rock influence (on instrumentation), and more of a lo-fi feel (without sacrificing any quality) then this is for you.



it's pretty much for anyone really."
