This overlooked EP is likely among the best melodic death/doom has to offer. Every one of these three songs is meticulously written and acoustic guitars, tasteful strings arrangement and clean vocals accompany the harrowing growls and the excellent melodic chords and leads. The raw production provides the necessary edge to the guitars and vocals and further accentuates the sorrowful atmosphere. The strings breakdown after the buildup at 4:25 in "Of Sorrow Blue" is probably one of my favourite moments in doom.
