Strangely enough they also showcase some NWOBHM influences that you don't often see in this genre, so that's pretty cool. Definitely an album I think we'll still be talking about later on towards the years end.
Very good "retro" traditional doom/heavy metal album. I was very disappointed with another "retro" album similar in vein released this year: "Possession" by Christian Mistress. Very sloppy.
