Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Unholy - The Second Ring of Power (1994)

Take Thergothon, and My Dying Bride. Put them together. Now remove anything enjoyable. You have this. PASS! This is sincerely all I can muster, and I feel it is deadly accurate. If I had to chance a guess, I would say that this album gets some spotlight because it's a very early doom release on Peaceville Records. Not everything old is grounding-breaking, and not everything on Peaceville is good. Any positive reviews I read anywhere of this album indicated, implied, or outright stated that the listener was on psychedelics so maybe that's the secret sauce. I would not know. What I do no know is that as a sober listen, this thing sucks.
