I wouldn't call it crappy.. but it's not the most appealing

Care to give me other examples? Because I really liked this crappy average artwork.

Dunno, it is kinda rubbish. Looks kinda cartoony

For some reason... that's why I liked it.

I can picture an ominous looking south park character lurking in the background

Sorry guys, I am really disappointed by this. I do not know whats so especial about this that makes noticeable staff/ elits like Lucas, Joe, Mr Doctor and Troy praise it. It just did not worked for me. The vocals are annoying. The drum is just terrible in faster parts. Most importantly, it lacks the emotional impact which doom metal is supposed to have. 4/10 for me.

doom metal

Wonder who put the doom tag here... Since when is this band doomy? Just black metal. Fine one at that but that's my opinion.

If you ask me this album is far more doom oriented than black

I admit it has been ages since I listened to it. So I will give this the benefit of the doubt till I hear it again and can whine about it.

At any rate the tag (which I implemented by the way) doesn't stipulate that this is purely doom, rather that doom was introduced on this album. It's a very close mix but the overall doomy vibe definitely outdoes the black metal aspect.

Fuck me, NOW I know what this album reminded me off.

It could totally pass as a Yu-Gi-OH card. Hahahahahaha.

Pegasus is watching you...

Definitely my least favorite TRoB album, still great though.

TRoB always had a little bit of doom in their black ... 2nd song on Rain Upon the Impure could be easily written by Mourning Beloveth or MDB

This is not a pure doom metal record for sure but IMO it still can be classified as doom influenced album. I have not listened to any blackended doom album so can not put this in that category but it at least tries to combine doom and black metal.
Beside the genre tag, I did not liked it. Doom or black, it failed to impress me as much as I thought it would

I don't like teh cleans at all, but the rest of this is a really solid doom output.

hahaha! true. I'd say it looks more MTG to draw a line but it is most assuredly Yu-Gi-Oh what with the broad style of art... I feel very nerdy right now.

I feel to be guilty because of not liking this album, should revisit this asap to see any if anything would change.

The first track is so catchy, had it in my head for months, very empowering melody.

I change my rating from 4 to . It is not that bad (it is actually pretty good I must say). Especially during the slower parts, band have impressive sound. "Mount Sinai Moloch" track is 9+ IMO and the other good tracks are the intro and outro. I still believe that faster parts are not that good, though

TRoB seems to be another one of those one man wonders. Every album impresses me with its uniqueness and incredible sound. An excellent album, "I Raised This Stone As A Ghastly Memorial" is probably one of my favorite songs now.

Same lol. I shared it with my brother and he also loved it. I wish they would replicate that sound on other songs of theirs. Nothing else I've heard from them seems to measure up to that one.

Quite possibly the best blend of BM and doom ever achieved. Blood Vaults II is a fucking monster

Im fine with the doom tag for TRoB but then it should start with RutI.

I'm impressed by the ability of this band to stay average and overrated after all these years.

Gave this the first full jam in a while today during some dark, rainy Portland weather

Still Von Meilenwald’s best, a colossal triumph for blackened doom, and one of the few albums I’d say deserves a perfect 10 on here
