I can't believe I had never heard of these guys before checking this record out 8-9 years ago now. This album is a thoroughly captivating & seriously heavy example of atmospheric & psychedelic sludge metal similar to material from Italy's Ufomammut. Many of the tracks start out quite chilled & build to huge crescendos & walls of noise. They slowly drag you in until you find yourself jumping around in a rage of excitement. The tribal element in the drumming is brilliant & reminds me of Neurosis at times.  This is certainly not for the faint-hearted or those with little patience. But if you are into a more cerebral style of heavy music then these guys will be right up your alley. Listen to this loud!
