" As a doom fan it is a true pleasure to listen to 'Inherit The Eden'. The music is fluent, relaxing and melodious, but on the other hand surprises with brutal eruptions and raucous vocals. Ari Nieminen has a gruff growl/grunt sometimes passing into a scream-like timbre. It perfectly fits the music of Hanging Garden. These are long songs, mostly rather slow, but injected with necessary accelerations to keep it engrossing. Keyboards are important as soaring, atmospheric factor and together with the melodic, meandering guitars, they give the music an ethereal beauty. 'Ethereal Passing' and 'Stillborn' are two shorter instrumental songs that are very beautiful and calm. The compositions are graced with acoustic interludes on guitars"


" The album is one huge doom manifest, a bit along the lines of their fellow countrymen Swallow The Sun, although there are no clean vocals here. It is preferable to listen to it as a whole, but if I have to pick out one song, I go for 'Shards Of Life' that combines surprisingly up tempo gothic guitars with chopping riffs, slower passages and a fast and furious outburst including a ferocious scream. This album has the saturnine beauty of Finnish nature and is highly recommended to all aficionados of melodic doom/death metal"


If you love bands like Swallow The Sun, Saturnus or Doom:vs you will want this album.
