This is really great, between this and Messa we’ve gotten some great Doom recently. This has more of a classic sound than the former. On Death’s Door parts and The Fade especially are excellent. Might be the best debut album so far this year!

Whoa. Totally unexpected hit in the gothic doom category. A debut, nonetheless. To echo Vellichor, The Fade might be one the top songs of the year. Days Gone By is another stunning track. Fans of Draconian should go nuts for this one.

Edit: Had to update my rating to a hard 9. Also, the closing track is INSANE.

I may join you there, I’ve been playing this all day and I’m probably 8-9 spins deep and this thing is so damn good. Really nails that classic Gothic Doom sound with some crushing moments

Saw these guys open for Countless Skies in Feb and was pretty impressed, so I already had my eye on this album to check out; I'm moving it closer to the front of my new releases queue based on these comments above^

At times like these, I thank MS for existing. The comments made me check it out, thank you, people. Vocals, melodies, atmosphere, all on point. "The Fade", as others have said already, is unbelievable.

I am so reviewing this.

Good find! thank you metalstorm best of 2025 list.

I like how well the vocalist handles cleans and growls. The riffs, solos and overall atmosphere does remind me of Draconian, and that's great because I love them.
