Didn't this come out in 2008? Aside from that, I like the keyboards and the doomy atmosphere they provide. However, this album is pretty repetative, making it boring. I also feel the production is a bit distorted. Maybe it's the mastering, not sure.

Didn't think this was that bad at all, doom metal isn't the most exciting style, but some do it well.

awesome, i didn't know about this but i love Candlemass and, from the review, this sounds great.

Leif could release a disco album and I'd probably still buy it. The guy is a master. I'll be sure to check this out, very soon. Good job Charles!

damn this is pretty ugly. the guitar tone is beastly and the keyboards are ominous. there isn't any of the grace that Candlemass' vocals and solos give their music. i'm not sure about Leif's vocals... the spoken word thing might grow on me but it might not.
