This type of music is a nightmare for someone who reviews things track by track. There’s only so much you can say to differentiate this music. And it changes so very slowly. This type of doom metal is glacially slow moving and not all that metal in terms of ferocity. It’s more like mood music for the metal crowd. As such this is some really cool music to put on and just absorb. It’s not very good for intensive listening, though. I first found out about this disc when doing research for my book – The Strange Sound of Cthulhu: Music Inspired by the Writings of H. P. Lovecraft and already wrote about the title track in that tome. For the sake of consistency I’ve used that text here.
