Review by Sonny for Tyranny - Tides of Awakening (2005)

Huge, heaving swells of sound, a growling, gurgling voice from the oceans very depths and the huge malevolent eye staring from the album's cover can only really point to one theme - the emergence of the dread lord Cthulhu from deep within R'lYeh and the impending destruction of all mankind. At once conveying both the crushing pressure of the sea depths and the expansiveness and sheer mind-destroying scale of the inter-stellar spaces, there are few better examples of a real atmosphere of iminent and inescapable doom. The final ambient track, Entreaties to the Primaeval Chaos finishes the album perfectly, documenting the ritual chant to raise man's nemesis and his answering stirrings. All in all this is a true classic of funeral doom that has few equals.
