Pretty much the record of the year for me, if you care to know why, read my review here.

Stumbled upon this by accident and it turned out to be one of my favourite records this year. Allstar project with Greg Macintosh (Paradise Lost) on the mic. Anyone who's into Death Metal, Doom, Sludge and even D-Beat and Crust will love this. There's a bunch of full blown hits on this one. It's still heavy and gloomy as fuck, yet catchy at the same time. Well done!

Certainly the heaviest record of the year, also the only full on Sludge album I really cared for. …
