At the height of Rainbow's powers this album shows Dio's versatile vocals to its fullest effects and in full flight. The pure power and passion delivered here has yet to be equalled.

Erosion is the stand-out album of 2009. The Portuguese gloom masters Process Of Guilt have really come into a sound of their own with this seminal album mixing death/doom with post metal influences hence creating some sort of post doom. A modern day classic is what Erosion is and hopefully the band's breakthrough album to the metal world outside of the doom scene and Portugal.
