Bonded by the creation of Funeral Doom in its most raw, arcane and nihilistic state... drawing influences from a wide array of musical styles and art, emotions, experiences, the occult & esoteric and an overall bleak and daunting feeling. Featuring members of Loss and Zosimos. People into Burning Witch, Moss, Monarch! and such do not pass this one. This is some seriously sick and twisted doom that's heavy as hell and refuses to beat you over the head with a straightforward attack. As you'd expect there are tons of slow, pounding riffs with occasional forays into stripped down clean passages, but the overall vibe is very spacious and abstract. There's nothing straightforward or to the point about this material at all. The creeping dissonance of the guitars frequently caves in to eerie ambient textures, while in many cases the scathing vocal snarls (often appearing as completely insane shrieks and moans) act as additional layers of texture as opposed to a vehicle for delivering lyrics. When they really get going and the elements start piecing together into more concrete song structures with subtly melodic pulses of bass, crushing power chords, and somewhat more tangible vocal performances, you've got to respect the full potential of their vision. Limited edition of 250 copies on with silk-screened fold-out sleeve and insert.
