I was not aware of the anti-christian/atheist background of Adam Darski prior to listening to this album since I am not a black metal fan. However, I got impressed by how a guy like him takes an 180 degrees turn and records a country/blues rock album. The content varies from the traditional country lyricism though and is written with lots of gothic and melancholic elements. Darski's soulful baritone brings a dark, mournful and sometimes, desperate feeling to the tracks which only make them even better. Too bad if this turns out to be a one-off project. Recommendations: "On The Road", "Voodoo Queen", "Nightride", "My Church Is Black", "Of Sirens, Vampires and Lovers".

Versed death metal yeller takes a stab at straight clean-voxed blues rock that would feel fitting at a dark-n-dingy bar deep in the woods or while drivin' down some dusty graveyard-laden trails. A surprisingly successful stab I'd say, but on the whole kinda too by the numbers; compelling moodiness eventually turning strained+silly. For the singing children see "Cross My Heart and Hope to Die", for standout softie that should've been an opening theme for The Leftovers see "One Day", for Song Of Love And Death see "Shaman Blues": "She got a black pearl in her pussy / and it'll be there til the day she dies / Then I'll stick it in her mouth, honey / and spit on her vacant eyes".
