‘Lamenting of the Innocent’ is extended to one hour and four minutes, ornamented profusely with clean guitar passages. This is why the new album feels diluted and less heavy than the prior releases.
The profound experience of Crypt Sermon in approaching doom metal. Between the thin lines of Candlemass and Solitude Aeternus the band craft their musical creativity.
‘The Door To Doom’ is an amazing executed epic doom metal record. Candlemass is keeping you bewitched from start to finished with heavy riffs, pounding drums and astounding composition and the return of Johan Längquist.
With “Hurricanes and Halos” Avatarium delivered an third excellent album. The combination of the beautiful bluesy vocals of Jennie-An Smith and the rough and heavy prog/doom guitars keeps on working very well.
