I finally figured out why I don't rate the new Indesinence higher, it is the many Celtci Frost references in the songs and I always found that band soso at best.

Those references really bring this album down. Now it's only omy numeber six in my extreme doom list of this year

What beats it? Because honestly this is probably top 3 doom albums of the year for me.

for me personally Anhedonist, Evoken, Faal, Profetus, Worship. (as you can see ordered alphabetically and not in order of preference)

Damn this album is good.

I was glad to see Decibel magazine list Evoken's latest as No. 3 on their top 40 albums of 2012 list.

As for Indesinence, I still haven't picked this up yet. The music is good enough but the packaging looks sweet too. It is on my Christmas wish list and I've made sure my wife knows.

2012 Extreme Doom album of the year
I didn't think that there'll be another extreme doom album that I'll like more than Faal but this is marvelous.

Definitely a massive release, deeply mood-altering.

So the main theme about light & decay, i find it controversial and thought provoking. I'd prefer more mellow moments.. suits better my taste maybe.

The artwork is good btw.

It's definitely a good album, but it's not great. There were several extreme doom releases that topped this one in 2012. Whenever I put on Vessels Of Light And Decay I couldn't stop asking myself, "Why am I not listening to Evoken right now?"

Because this one is so good you can't stop listening to it =P

Amazing piece of Death/Doom. The artwork is one of the bests in recent years.

Just got the CD, man this one is well worth the money... beautiful packaging, not to mention really interesting lyrics. Looking forward to diving deep into this one!

I'm not really all that in to Doom but I'm intrigued by this. I decided to check it out because of Erik's list and it reminds me a bit of Faal, which is a release I enjoyed quite a bit for being a Doom release.


*Keep in mind I'm far from a Doom aficionado so don't disembowel me if you disagree that Indesinence and Faal sound alike.

knife's out and sharpened and ready to disembowel you. The two don't sound alike at all. For one Indesinence has pure death metal parts in their sound whereas Faal doesn't.

Maybe the reason the two remind you of each other is that greg Chandler of Esoteric did the mixing of both The Clouds Are Burning and Vessels Of Light And Decay.

That would explain a lot. I'm not a Doomster as thou art, but I could Kinda tell they weren't really that much a like (beyond both being slow and having deep vocals ), but it still made me think of Faal in my head.

That's also the reason I put the little *Disclaimer at the bottom of my post.

Listened to this a couple times today. Struck me as sounding more like slow-paced death metal than doom, but still a good album. Made the couple hours I spent listening to it go by very nicely.

This is pretty damn awesome. What a hidden gem.

Indeed it is. About the time we get something new from these guys.

Seeing as the drummer is also in Grave Miasma and Cruciamentum I am guessing it will take a couple of more years.

This one is even better than Noctambulism holy sacred shit!

I find Noctambulism way better

Now I think this is one of the finest death/doom albums ever. R.I.P. Indesinence.

I finally managed to grab a copy of this beauty on CD. Along with, Withered Shades, it's one of the finest death doom albums I know. Only 60 votes here is a crime against MS community.

I'm jealous, would love to have it in my collection, found the LP version on Discogs and still debating if I should buy it or not. And I absolutely agree, this album is massively underrated/overlooked!

I got it for about 15 euros. I think it's a very fair price, but it was an auction. When it comes to used LPs, I try to avoid them because of the clipping... It's always a risk. The worst case, I had, was when my Lumikuuro LP got stuck in one spot. RIP [ * ]

But I won't lie here, the prices on Discogs are very tempting! Go for it.

I agree 100%. This is essential death doom.

Yeah, the prices are tempting and one person offering the album has pretty good ratings. Will go for it!

EDIT: I just looked the memebers of the band up and found about the connections to UK´s BM Band Code. Pretty interesting! Indesinence is obviously no more and Code haven´t impresed after their 2009 effort (which i ADORE). So that´s that.

Supreme death doom. Boldly chartering into lesser explored areas of metal.
