for sure, but many of the tracks feel way too similar (in longing literally just feels like listening to the previous track again, for instance)

Album Rating: 4.5

but i wish it wasn't quite so one-dimensional and simplistic in its songwriting.



Literally the only thing which points more to a 4.5 for me than a classic 5. Even then, it's a speck of a flaw.

i think the track listing has something to do with it, similar tracks being lumped together (the first three, in longing and withdrawn etc). had they been swapped around a bit it would have worked better.

I see where you're coming from. Right now my stand-out favourites of the whole album are the first two songs and the closer, but I think there's something to love in every song at least. Just more in some than others I guess.

soothing stuff on here

I don't usually listen to doom but I vaguely remember liking these guys years and years back, so I will have to give this a listen.

"Shape of despair are not a very heavy doom band, if you want something more hard hitting then check out Ataraxies lastest album."



I was talking more about emotional than sonical heavyosity but ty for the rec anyway

I remember checking slow transcending agony years ago and recall it as being good but pretty straightforward doom-death

Is their latest effort moar varied?

Sounding good so far. Some solid doom can be so bloody perfect on occassion.

I thought Ataraxie's latest was their best by a fair margin personally, it's an absolute monstrosity. Highly recommend

Its dark heavy crushing metal of doom, and its pretty good also.

Album Rating: 3.5

2 tracks in and It's not too bad. 2015 metal is way behind compared to 2014 metal though

In Fennoscandia, the main church of a diocese is known as a Church of Doom (domkyrka, tuomiokirkko, domkyrke).

Album Rating: 3.5

So yeah, excellent stuff here. I can't help bit feel it's a but too dare I say...monotonous?



I agree with Noctus (for once), it's all very good but lots of stretches just sound way too similar to each other.

this band has the worst album art

These guys can do no wrong. Finally got a chance to sit down and jam this in full a few times. m/
