Is it fall yet? No, not quite. We are about to reach summertime. When the weather is nice, y’know, that kind of thing. Yet, when I leafed through the review pipe I found a dark, melancholy type of album. Not made for happy, sunny, and airy times. And it is from last year to boot.

I know one should not give the boat away and show yer mighty colors too soon, but this mixture between Paradise Lost, Sorcerer, and My Silent Wake is just irresistible. A gem we didn’t know yet was coming to us by this fall. What a great year 2015 has been for Doom Metal of all kinds. From newcomers like … [...] Click to raid more!
