a mournful journey into the lands of utterly intrusive, doomy gloom - that is the core of third full-length [2004] by prominent Finnish entity, this time introducing a versatile genius of infamous vocalist Pasi Koskinen [ex.Amorphis, Ajattara] to the fold, with his diverse range opening up some new dimensions of their unorthodox and ferocious sound, thick with both synth arrangements and monolith guitar riffs, what makes this six-tracker especially atmospheric and baldly infectious, regardless of its slow motion effect; recent Dutch gatefold sleeve double black vinyl edition with engraved D side is limited to 300 units
