Style: monumental harmonious atmospheric doom metal

you must be crazy enough to play doom in early nineties' Norway, yet seems that Gunder Audun Dragsten was exactly trying to be exception from the rule and do what pleased him most, where the biggest luck was to find like-minded musicians in Sweden who helped to realize the ideas for this debut longplay [1993] that proudly entered underground history - Dan Swanö was always looking to music in a wider way, and among other things was committed to track it at his Unisound studio, while his colleague from Edge of Sanity Benny Larsson was happy to fill in on drums; the end result was indeed characteristic, enriching traditional doom with very harmonious, atmospheric, progressive rock elements, partly to blame for the historical metal genre not to be abandoned at all, eventually gaining its strong positions back; first time ever - black vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric insert
