Anyone else enjoying this? It's might not be doom in the purest sense but fans of Candlemass should definitely feel some familiarity. While it might not pass for one of those "supergroups", it's definitely a strong line-up:

Leif Edling, Bass (Candlemass, Krux etc),
Lars Sköld, Drums (Tiamat etc)
Marcus Jidell, Guitar (Evergrey, Royal Hunt, Pain etc)
Carl Westholm, Keyboard (Candlemass, Krux etc)
Jennie-Ann Smith, Vocals

Moonhorse blew my hair back when I first heard it, I love how it alternates between heavy doom guitars and simple melodic verses:

Curious what other people think, seems too good to me for no one to be talking about it. Is a review planned for the site?

Thanks for the link Tompa. I'm not the biggest Candlemass fan but I'd prefer their heavier albums to this. While the new vocal lady is good, I wasn't enamored with the soft/loud dynamic and would prefer her singing over something loud a lot more. Definitely not bad, and certainly intriguing if future material is heavier.
