A Doom Metal classic, the first for this UK band, featuring the plaintive vocals of "Vicky", now departed from The River. Such crushing doom, but still maintains a center of melancholy which recalls Mourn and early Warhorse. A must for the Doom Freak collection. Imported from the UK.

The similarities with The Third & The Mortal are present in the vocals, which occupy a space somewhere between Kari and Caroline Wilson of Mourn, with a slightly more reserved quality...in the song structure and the use of dark and light...in the "serious despair, but not flinching in the face of it vibe" and in the great drumming (one of the true marks of a really good drummer is the ability to play uniquely and impressively at slow tempos). – Michael Ballue, Hellride Music.com
