"a real emotional workout that is the aural equivalent of the moment Bambi’s mother gets shot."

The underlying electronic/new age drone is very reminiscent of Steve Roach and Thom Brennan's work. Longing For Dawn add the Doom elements over the top which make this very exquisite music which I love to get lost in. Look those gentlemen up if you like this sort of thing minus the doom/metal elements. This is great stuff.

* If you like Longing For Dawn then check out Void Of Silence: The Grave of Civilization

Cool bump, Raven, I missed this review the first time. I liked this album, and would score it in the solid 80ish range, but the sudden attention means I'll relisten soon.

Good recommendation on Void of Silence: I had no idea you were into funeral/ambient doom, Raven! Is this a new thing?

If you had any idea how much time I spend sitting here with my laptop searching for new music, you would probably think I am a wee bit obsessive. I like doom and over the past few years I've gotten into electronic ambient music by Steve Roach, Thom Brennan, and Rudy Adrian. I listen to a lot of it when I go hiking and when I'm studying because I find it relaxing, plus due to the absence of lyrics it allows me to concentrate better when I'm reading. Well, when I discovered ambient/doom/death (however you would like to categorize it) I found that it was just a perfect bridge between metal and the ambient stuff. So, I guess you could consider it a new thing for me. Last Saturday I found Bindrune Recordings who have Falls of Rauros, Obsequiae, and Nechochwen. Check those out too.

Obsessive into music is never a problem. Nechochwen is a very, very relaxing listen, I'll be sure to check the other ones.

As for 'ambient doom', have you heard of Dolorian before?

A sampling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg6juhzMQi8

That whole album is whispered vocals, btw.
