I'm pretty sure you remember Pantheist, one of the most upcoming names in the world of funeral doom back in the 00s. The basics remained, but still, they had a personal approach on the sound of this very special scene. There was will for something different, but there were the boundaries of funeral doom keeping them chained. The big breakthrough came with Journey Through Lands Unknown and everything you knew concerning this band suddenly came to a different level. There were attachments to the past, but still, Pantheist were not the same. The only trademark you can rely on have to be Kostas' vocals and the piano/keyboard curtain.

Very nice music but unusually soft for a doom album but its great nonetheless. Its got a nice Pink Floyd sound going for it. Some pretty original stuff.
Anathema has a Floyd element as well, that's the closest sound I can think of to these guys.

I'll definitely be picking this one up. It has an interesting sound thats pleasing to my ear.

Hm. Not sure what the deal is with the Santana sound at times, it really creates an imbalance in regards to the atmosphere. You can't just mix in sombreros and tacos with church organs.
Anyway, it's a good album overall, it's just flawed - especially for a Pantheist release.

Yes, this album is a bit soft for doom metal and maybe a bit too experimental for some people. Still I find the songwriting here to be top-notch, there are still some really heavy doom riffs here and there and vocals may not be very good but they sound very sincere.
All in all, one of the strongest doom metal releases of the year (which wasn't too great for doom metal, in my humble opinion).
