The album starts off with screaming and feedback... its physically painful to listen to. Once Blood Born Doom properly starts two thing immediately stood out to me: the guitar tone and the vocals.
The guitar tone is thick and filthy. It sounds like these guys dug an outhouse in the middle of a swamp and recorded the guitars there.
Typically for music like this you would expect death growls, but these guys have gone in a black metal direction. The shrieks here are much less refined than you would find in most black metal. Much like the guitars they are gritty and disgusting in the best way possible.
It's all a slow, sludgy, putrid mess. It's horrible, its inhuman, and its one of my favorite albums of 2010.
