Gloomy funeral doom with some awkwardly placed black metal-inspired blast beat sections. The production is great and, aside from the first seven minutes of the closing track, the record isn't boring. Only four songs, but they are all quite long. Some nice cello, too.

Predominantly playing funeral doom, but throwing in sprinkles of black metal, Lycus presents a nicely varied record in the form of Chasms. There are undoubtedly monolithic and heavy moments, which make up the backbone of the album, but there are also tranquil and atmospheric sections that sometimes include strings, as well as sections filled with ghostly black metal shrieking and blast-beats. All of this provides a pretty well-paced record which knows just how long to play a section of music before moving on to the next, with the songs flowing effortlessly in the thick, foggy atmosphere. Needless to say, it definitely sounds like its cover. None of this album is particularly original in any way, but it is professionally performed and excellently produced, with a bevy of affecting moments throughout its forty-three minute runtime. If you're a fan of funeral doom with a rich atmosphere, then I would most certainly recommend this record.

Dark, atmosheric funeral doom. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's still pretty good.
