A band that sounds like a mix of Sun O))) and Esoteric? Count me in!

A band that sounds like Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Sunn O)))? Sounds like the best thing ever.

Sun O)))
I'd be remiss in not pointing out the egregious Sunn O))) mis-tag there.

Could be worse... He could've said "Sunno" In any case, I MUST check this stuff out. Seems hella promising. Great review, I'm sold.

Why, are you going to talk to us about genres again?
Sorry, couldn't resist that.

lol... no, BitterCold's review is spot on... He just forgot to mention that M. Hater and I. Stellarghost of Abstract Spirit feature as guest musicians... you can clearly hear some Abstract Spirit influence in the album.

Great review for a great album. This has been a pretty fantastic year for doom (Mourning Beloveth, Officium Triste and Lycus to name a few), and now we get this. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and the review was spot on with the type of sound. Greg Chandler has the Midas Touch thats for sure.
EDIT: I've spun the album several times now...as of right now, this is my favourite extreme doom album of the year. You don't get this quality of music every day, and I'm not going to complain if these guys sound like Esoteric. Thanks BitterCOld.

Afraid it will get overlooked - seems most those I review for Solitude are come award time - but still my favorite in the genre this year.

I just came back to this album and it is indeed seriously good. Even made me switch my pick in the MSA from The Ruins Of Beverast to this

By the way, the title of this comes from an Arthur C Clarke story called "The Nine Billion Names Of God." It's about these Tibetan Buddhist monks who have a traditional prophecy that the world will end when all the names of God are written down. They invent an alphabet through which they can count the names, and get some Westerners to help them with typing up the names on a computer so the process will go faster. The Westerners think the monks will get angry when they have the last name on the computer and nothing happens, so they take off from their camp one night. As they look back at the Tibetans' location, they look up at the sky and begin to notice that "overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out," and that the prophecy was fulfilled.
