Cross Vault - Spectres Of Revocable Loss, DigiCD

Special collectors edition in digipack (ltd. 1000), incl. 12-page fold-out poster feat. the cover art by Lucas Ruggieri, based on a scene from George Orwell's dystopian classic "1984" which also inspired the lyrics to the song "At our bleakest". If the name WARNING (UK) as a main influence rings any bells, and you're of the opinion that DOOM METAL should first and foremost be slow, harmonious, sorrowful and crushing, yet never tiring, boring, repetitive or lacking in variety; that the most important ingredients are masterful songwriting, flawless musicianship and an unreal vocal performance, then this is THE Doom Metal album you should write on top of your to-buy-list for 2014! The album includes 5 own compositions that focus on the subject of loss, as well as a cover of WARNING's "Footprints" which quite honestly sounds as if it belongs on this album. Review ratings: 8.5/10 - www.crossfire-metal.de 8/10 - www.destructive-music.com 8.5/10 - www.doom-metal.com 8/10 - www.metalkaoz.com 8/10 - www.metal-temple.com (In my personal opinion the album should receive nothing but 100% ratings since it is absolutely perfect but perhaps it's a matter of taste. For me it's certainly one of the best Doom albums I know. - Torsten)
