I like it. It's like 80's synth meets death metal.

I'm with Rod on the track, although leaning more towards "okayish" rather than good. It's enjoyable to a degree, but if I try to listen intently rather than let it play in the background I become rather bored. Decent funeral doom, though something a bit more inventive would've been nice (although maybe that's not fair given how old SoD are...)

I thought it was average at first but the ending really sold me. Will definitely keep an eye out for the new album.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 21.04.2015 at 20:04 I feel the same way. It's "good" but I don't get the people who praise this like it's the best song they ever heard (on Youtube and Facebook for example).
