Murky, bottom-heavy doomy metal that sucks you in and swallows you up.

minimal, slow, gloomy, and eventually all consuming sadness. I admire the restraint and control of dynamics and the ability to shape such a long epic without resorting to predictability. sometimes you just need music like this that understands your mood Giles
