Cost: $2.00
This walks a very fine line. Even considering the especially heavy guitar tone and more extreme backing vocals, my immediate intial impression was that the songwriting felt much more like straightforward traditional doom, perhaps with a touch of progressiveness. But as the CD goes on, it's obvious the more extreme influences are a significant contributor to the music, and many sections are straight up doom/death. While I don't hear much direct influence musically, all the raspy vocals used on "Black Wings" give it strong black metal overtones. Good find and I like the music, but it just feels strange. When considering the music as a whole it's right on the cusp of being doom/death, but there's just enough classically-inspired doom with clean vocals here where I can't help but mentally classify it as that.
