After hearing so much praise for this band and in particular this album, I've checked out a couple of tracks and just don't get it. They sound like a band just learning how to play their instruments and the vocals are completely laughable.


Well to each his own but i found the second time i listened to it (First time was on too much ketamine to process any of it) i was blown away by the heavy emphasis on atmosphere above all else. Rarely a band makes an album that so perfectly creates a cohesive atmosphere all the way through. Try listenin to it agaiin as a whole, tryin to not separate it into instrument/vocal etc...


Clicked with me on a second listen too and I agree with you about the atmospheric nature of the work. It gets under your skin and evokes ghoulish feel of something old and evil. Not totally unlike Lovecraft's novels. Also I'm a big fan of the vocals.
