As the ominous intro to Colossus floats into my skull, then the monstrosity itself tromps in, the heavy riffage immediately reminds me of Sabbath and Trouble. Vocally, more like Trouble. I’d say the sconces of Blackwülf’s lair are lit from the very torch originally lit & held by traditional doom~metal’s original masters. This is great! Highly recommended! Hard to pick a fave from such a consistent bunch. Sounds like Iommi himself leads this pack. Long live the Stone Age! 8.5/10. Alrihkh
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
