| 3.8 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | February 1st 22 |
Doom + slowcore seems like a good match, how come so few have thought about it before? Doom's doom (eheh) perfectly match the heartfelt vocals. All songs are good, as well as the riffs and vocals, yet it's evident the songwriting could have been upped - or the tracks could have been shortened. Nevertheless, this is beautiful shit.

This is distorted alternative rock, definitely not doom metal. "Restless" is a great song but the album slowly gets worse and more insipid in my opinion -- especially the last song which I have never enjoyed. I find this album to be clearly inferior to the sophomore album.
It's a great listen though if you want to be suffocated almost to the point of dizziness by agony. It's a terrible listen if you want riffs and aren't very sad though.

If Watching From a Distance is a storm under pitch black sky of heavy clouds, then The Inside Room is a heavy
downpour with occasional breaks of sunlight. Just like Warning, 40 Watt Sun has that same depressing atmosphere and
lyrical stylings, yet the band manages to differ itself from Warning. Within all that sadness, the instrumentation on The
Inside Room has this lingering yet faint presence of positive emotions, like a dim light in the darkness refusing to fade
away. Once again, Patrick Walker does some of the most emotional and beautiful vocal performances in doom metal, or
hell, it metal itself. 40 Watt Sun is still heavy as all hell and the tracks trudge at a somber and slow pace. In short, The
Inside Room is essentially the dim light yet ever-present light of hope in the dark tunnel of depression and sorrow.
4.7/5

I wasn't the biggest fan of the whole doom genre for a long time but this band and Pallbearer have opened me up to it. Definitely worth the listen if your a fan of the genre and if not this could change your mind. It's not over complex or hard to follow, its accessible and gratifying.

This is essentially a more grown up version of Watching From A Distance, and I mean that in the most flattering way possible.
