aelena Not their easiest, but surely a rewarding platter once you get into it, even if its general atmosphere means less variation that other records from the band. Dark, grim, extremely heavy and oppressive and harking back to their roots. Perhaps even too oppressive in the mix...the drums sound a bit smothered for me. Favorite track: Medusa.

David Yvinec It took me a few listen to fully appreciate this album, but when in need for heavy doom metal, this album is my go to album. I am so amazed by how Paradise Lost has evolved and by how the musicians and singer songwriting skills have improved. This album is on the list of my top five Paradise Lost favorite albums. You might not want to look in the eyes of Medusa, but let yourself be carried by the music and you will be rewarded. Favorite track: The Longest Winter.

Atalantos Instant Doom Classic! I was immediately hooked by the immense amount of heaviness. Absolutely huge guitars, a very nicely matching vintage drum sound and a stellar performance by the drummer. Crushing bass sound and a Mr. Holmes doing what he does best. Last but not least the incredible mix and production. A true Doom-Sludge masterpiece!...and to think that I am not even a PL fan :P Favorite track: Gods Of Ancient.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

A love/hate kind of production. I tried to like several times this massive, effect overloaded arena rock production. But the wall of sound prevents me to follow the core (soul) of the music...so a very personal "less is more" impression remains. Nonetheless Not a bad record at all... rs1972
