Your Review:

Top FUCKING notch melodic death/doom with some fast grindier pieces is what we have here...and holy shit is it underrated and overlooked. I've been to lots of doom websites and other stuff, but not many times has this album been mentioned. Well, here I am to say it, this is a motherfucking classic slab of depressive doom metal.

We start things off with the track '(I Am) Enamoured of Dead Bodies'...a nice scream and one of the best "emotional" sounding riffs on the album (also one of the best). If this is your first time hearing this band, you will be turned off by the weird time changes and odd vocals, but you'll get used to it and see the true beauty within. What do I mean by odd vocals? There are 3 kinds here, actually: gruff deathy male vocals, operatic male vocals, and operatic female (!) vocals. The female vocals are haunting and disturbing, and they definitely add to the appeal of the album. It's also amusing to the immature one inall of us to hear a women sing about tongue-in-cheek gore over a seriously depressing background riff. This track lasts for a hefty eight and a half minutes, but it never gets boring (and if you don't like doom, you probably won't like this, except maybe for the crazy gore shit).

The album goes through some great ups and downs. The well placed and memorable instrumental track, Muse Perverse, for example is a pretty good break from the long songs.

These songs never really make full grind speed or sound, though, which is something I would have loved to see implemented. Having really fucking fast blasts would have been a cool (if not really unappealing to half the fanbase of the genre of doom) at times, but this is nearly flawless in its execution. The production oozes heaviness, the bass is always right there, and the riffs are some of the most memorable I've heard in a doom band (see the beginning of 'Chewing Female Genital Parts' for an amazing riff).

Overall, if you are a doom fan looking for something different, or just really want to listen to soem fucking awesome music, get this by means of download or purchase (it is semi-hard to find).
