| 4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | March 1st 17 |
When Doubt was released in early 2015, it came with the promise that King Woman would be a project to remember, and that their debut full-length would be a statement. Now it's 2017, and Created In The Image Of Suffering has delivered on the band's promise while still showing signs of something larger in waiting. It's very organic, almost ethereal post/doom metal, with some fantastic production that gives the guitars a beautiful fullness and tone and gives the drums a nice punch (that snare tone is pretty great). Kristina Esfandiari puts together a marvelous performance vocally, as if she'd do anything but, and gives the record a noticeable personality. The use of some catchy refrains here definitely helps in that department too, with "Hierophant" and "Worn" being of particular note. It's also a wonderfully condensed listen, being under forty minutes but never feeling like it's missing anything or that it's cut too short. It's quite the debut full-length, and if they manage to improve on it they'd be putting out a possible modern post/doom metal staple.

| 4.0 excellent | Chino smoking it up! | January 24th 19 |
Female fronted, shoegazy doom release (yes) not relying on classic doom aspects (long songs, flow, repetition) but in soul grungy songwriting. Really good and original and somewhat dark.rRecd tracks - Worn; Hierophant
