Style: infectious expressive stoner doom metal

legendary Pentagram leader, traditional doom icon and heavy rock prophet Bobby Liebling keeps pulling previously unheard and unseen aces from his sleeve, as for decades overlooked recordings of exceptional talent is gradually unearthed from the caves - here we have a unique gathering of four musicians in 2006, where alongside the aforementioned Earthride and Spirit Caravan frontman, two then-current Pentagram members also took part, with Bobby contributing not only his signature expressive vocals, but also some guitar and bass parts; nine tracks recorded in one go impress with both a strong, organic sound and massive layer of thick, heavy riffs plus slow yet gripping flow, where stoner-like meditative passages intertwine with the weight of classic doom, while Liebling's direct vocal delivery retains distinctive and unpredictable yet convincing expressiveness; recent Finnish dark green vinyl edition with proper audio mastering and new artwork is limited to 400 units
