" It says a lot when my first instinct writing a review is to just say "wow" and leave it at that. This is Funeral's 4th record and the record is a stunner. Not since Officium Triste's "Reason" had I heard such a record to produce emotion's so powerful!
All at once Sad and depressing but beautiful at the same time"

" This album is built on crushingly heavy and achingly beautiful riffs that are both heavy and melodic at once. The use of keyboards certainly adds another aura to Funeral’s music, an aura that could be called mystic or virtually shamanistic.
But it is the vocal's that put this one over the top...instead of Deathly vocal's....We get a barritone voice, clean and perfectly in tune with the music...very chant like ,soothing yet haunting! "

" With seven extensive, cautiously structured compositions , and almost an hour of supreme doom later...I am left with this:
One cannot conceivably sit through this album and not be moved ! Some albums just bleed with emotion.....

Heart-Wrenching Sonic Journey!........Get It!
