And here we have a nice post-modern piece of doom metal. This piece was written and recorded by a quartet from Little Rock, Arkansas named Pallbearer. It was released in the early months of 2012. They say this beautiful piece was created with the mindset that all is lost, and that hope is a pointless fallacy. They say that all your dreams fade away as soon as you take a listen, your aspirations to achieve, your hopes of a better life, with a new career and a family. They say all of that disappears.

Fantastic traditional doom. Fans of Warning and 40 Watt Sun will thoroughly enjoy it. Will be posting a mini-review in my list once I've given it even more listens. I'm enjoying it more and more with each listen.

A shame it didn't live up to the demo which is a lot better tbh

Posts: 448 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 14.03.2012 at 01:39 I suppose having high expectations coming into an album, and then having it not live up to said expectations puts a damper on the mood. I'm just happy to find another good band to listen to.

Damn good, this sounds really honest. Very nice vocals. Why not visible?

This album gets stronger and stronger with every listen. I've played the album 20-30 times now, and i've only had it for a month or two. It is quite possibly my favourite Doom Metal album, or at least up there with Isole - Silent Ruins, and Warning - Watching from a Distance.

Indeed, a small drop in form after a great demo, but it's still my favorite traditional doom AOTY.

Didn't like, it's not bad but feels like it's missing something.
