Album is everything I expected and more, these guys are probably my favourite DM band to have debuted in the last two or three years, unbelievably good.

The Marrow Veil is a peculiar beast. On paper, it's a death/doom metal album with sections of black metal and the occasional drone. In reality, all of these things are done in ways that are as unique as they are interesting. Everything on this record is remarkably thin for a metal record The vocals, drums, and bass are present, but feel almost weightless in some spots. In a genre such as this, these things are almost always detrimental. Yet, Howls Of Ebb somehow makes it work to a stunning degree. The guitars, for much of the record, don't even sound like guitars. They sometimes sound like, among other things, horns, keys, screeching birds, and buzzsaws. And yet, in each instance, you can still vaguely tell they are guitars, which in my mind is incredible. The atmosphere is like fire. It's not a smokey, raging fire though, rather being a slow-burning, incensed fire that is beautiful rather than destructive. It's quite the interesting record, one that I sincerely hope will be built on in the future.

Completely unexpected, this is amazing. Variety of sound textures makes this LP shine. I only wish we could see this kind of release more often.

Sinister, hypnotic and unique, The Marrow Veil succeeds on pretty much all fronts. Howls of Ebb take a more atmospheric approach on this MLP, even more so than their already eerie and stellar debut. With that angle taken comes an even more focused record that envelopes you in an alien darkness that slowly draws you under to a sonic abyss. What really makes this record so special is exactly how engaging it is. The dissonance, the signature demented instrumentation of HoB and spine chilling ambience create a concoction that will make you want to listen to the whole thing from start to finish. Absolutely terrific album.

Howls of Ebb have done it again. The sound is so alien haunting and weird, it's amazing
