Number2 album of the year for me, the ultimate apocalyptic experience. Maybe a little too long for the starters of this genre, give it some spin and be patient!
95/100

Being a Doom veteran, I must say that this album is insanely hard to get into. Most likely it's because this album is a bottomless listening experience.

...That's all I can really say about it. I'm not even sure what score to give it.

neither did i, not much into funeral/death doom and i find it kinda silly when a band tries this hard to sound evil. it's like they're trying to inflict somethign on the listener rather than expressing their own emotion

I liked it pretty well for a Doom album considering I'm not much a fan of the genre. It's kind of mood music for me... definitely have to be feeling a bit down to listen to it. 82/100.

Finally got aroujnd to listening to this. Late entry for 2008 top 15? Or a load of wallowing miserablist balls? At the moment leaning towards the former, but often it depends on mood...
