Style: sensitive emotional atmospheric doom metal
most tragic in its essence, yet beautiful in delivery, third album of the emotional atmospheric doom metal gods [1995] steps out of growling death metal past, departing from earlier, more oppressive sound, and enters something very unique, ethereal and magical, yet unparalleled by the music world, combining mournful, slow-tempo with more atmospheric layers, that results in distinct, melancholic fluidity, rich in elongated, sorrowful riffs that ebb and flow through somber passages, often accompanied by delicate piano and subtle violin arrangements, deepening the emotive landscape, where The Cry of Mankind stands out as one of the most touching and heart-breaking lullabies of the mournful genre; recent British digisleeve edition comes with a remastered sound, rare The Sexuality of Bereavement tune, as well as three tracks from Live at the Dynamo'95 EP
