I love this album due to it's oppressive heaviness. I understand fully that what I'm about to write is counter-intuitive; however, the music on this offering relaxes me into a pensive state fueling visions of The Badlands with howling winds and wolves. This is fantastic doom-work for pensive moments of somber reflection. I'd encourage anyone to listen to this when the mood arises. It's a 3-song journey into one's soul. Grinding, heavy, wildly over-driven, yet without sounding muddy. spaceman2250
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013

ALL HOPE ABANDON, YE WHO ENTER HERE. Through me you go into a city of weeping; through me you go into eternal pain; through me you go amongst the lost people. Hope not ever to see Heaven. I have come to lead you to the other shore; into eternal darkness; into fire and into ice. Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken from us; it is a gift. - Inferno, Dante Alighieri.
