Style: doom metal, extreme metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: noisy, feedback driven doom with massive riffs
Thoughts: I've got to get this out of the way. This album could very well be mistaken for a Tryptikon album. The way the songs are written and produced are nearly identical to Tom Warrior and crew. I mean... the band is even named after a Celtic Frost song.
The songs have the same structure as the band they are emulating: long, slow, feedback laden songs with a gruff grunting voice driving the music forward. As much as I would normally decry music that is this blatantly ripped off from another artists, there are exactly two bands in the world playing this style currently: Totengott and Tryptikon.. and the latter of those hasn't released a new album in quite a few years.
With that in mind, it seems like Totengott has taken up the banner that Tom and his band have left on the ground. I am a big fan of this kind of music and I'm glad that someone, somewhere is producing music in this style.
