Greece used to be the center of the world. The ancient civilization brought us the bounty of philosophy, the boon of drama, the laughter of comedy and the study of knowledge among other handy everyday things. Let us be reminded that Greece has also been an eternal beacon of great music.

Great album! A wonderful balance of melodic death and doom with beautifully constructed melodies, emotive songwriting, passionate growls and a rich mesmerising melancholic atmosphere, for me it's like a mix of Swallow The Sun and Insomnium. I suppose some would argue that some tracks plod on too much, but for me that's not the case.

Some nice melodies and atmosphere but vocals are a bit too growling for my taste. I can't really feel emotions from it. Album cover art is nice.

I kinda agree that the growls are a bit too deep and brutish for the sound of the music instrumentally, but it doesn't have a huge negative impact for me - this is a super nice album for this style

One of hard to describe it sound somehow balanced melancholy what is in doom common thing, same time heavier riffing as Andy said Swallow The Sun and Insomnium.

A truly amazing album!

Their music is amazing and balanced. This band has unique ideas and huge potential in the death doom style. It reminds me of Officium Triste and I'm not clear where the connoisseurs heard a similar style to Insomnium or Swallow of the Sun??? The sound is unique and the guitars are amazing. it is an absolute 8th in rating.

That guitar solo just doesn't stop...damn. Greek doom is a good thing, but the vocals are missing something to be perfect. The production is super high level and the ideas are great.

Beautiful album. Ive seen so many commenting on the vocals but for me that is what made them unique from other doom bands. Great mix of melancholic music with contrasting growls. 😍

The songs sort of seamlessly flows into one another to the point that the distinguishing factor is lost. I found the last album to be more engaging however this one is very pleasing to the ears as well.
