Bucky Oh man, this most certainly is a killer release! I held off for a couple days, while I watched all my internet friends gobbling it up, due to the somewhat idle band name. Standout vocals with a bluesy, doomy tone and a rustic finish. The riffs and grooves keep it well balanced. Top in its class.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Oh WOW! This is KILLER!
Hard rock/trad doom that delivers everything you could ever want from that particular genre. Bluesy doom riffage, incendiary solos and thunderous rhythms all topped off with a startlingly good vocal from Wes Allen whose voice has more than a passing resemblance to, UK hard rock band Reef's, Gary Stringer.
AWESOME!

She Wept 03:31
when you speak your words aloud to me they shroud themselves in secrecy you fail to find the things you need as you cloak them all in mystery when out she calls the madness lulls her hand brings poise to a mind of strife but choice is derived from a will to survive dreaming in white the error of your ways eclipsing the hole of a soul unsaved here we are these visions scarred by the weight of a love you lost
2.
Blank Tombs 04:29
captured birds clip wings you’ll never fly again hear the angels sing this is the day you’ll see the end peace will come and go as will the burdens we share reasons you couldn’t have known becomes the cross you’re meant to bear waiting drowning you weaken as the pendulum swings losing daylight we all fear what the darkness will bring Allow the illness to breathe, a breeding ground it becomes tied to the ghost of your failure that wasn't worth the price of shared blood lying naked in wait the trial of a fallen man you drift away on the rising tide flesh worn away becoming sand
3.
reopen the dying home clearing out each sloping web hope resides in a peaceful place evoking spirits that should not wake to simply live is a risk to take revive the damned with a sneering glance it ends walls are giving way the blackness cedes to day his sins were washed away but darkness still remains we revive the damned
4.
A Dying King 05:13
making progress but moving ten miles backward the human condition prevails so long as penance is offered storming the kingdom with plans of taking the reigns forging a new path now 10,000 years in vain it must be so let it be so scour for evidence turning over each stone building prisons force the people to claim their own calling out to a god who doesn’t answer by name you incur the wrath of man with only yourself to blame it must be so lonely atop that throne righteous lies you claim to own oh if you’d only known
5.
cauterize the phantom limb unseen flesh remains removal of exquisite corpse the knowledge will be gained save yourself the sinners flood beast still dwells within decomposition has begun the patient is wearing thin it won’t be lost preserve the sacred name strip away rust and soot are you made of whats inside faith collapse short of breath is this somehow not a sign removal of exquisite corpse the knowledge will be gained cauterize the phantom limb unseen flesh still remains
6.
Sheitan 05:44
insufferable eyes tearing holes in souls of the one time forsakes dragging the light into the bleakest void where no air escapes sever the brain stem to hold ending the growth pain remains inherent archaeic modes dim the lantern the bloodletting commences the years tearing by now the oath decides what is taken away never reborn waiting and watching the flames emerging faces now remain its hard to tell whats all been done bred this evil that I’ve become marred my life with misery in exchange for short lived infamy illness takes its toll the memories bought and sold weren’t worth an existence in the cold where ill stay whisper now just sleep
7.
in the words you can’t speak are the lies that rain down over me in the dark no demon sleeps as the fires raging onward the gods dethrone their king will the sorrow reclaim everyone given your role of dying alone lurking in the grey let the vultures have their way with me I’ve been beaten to my knees as a godless man of no dignity as they take my dignity theres no chance for dignity the serpents cruelty speaks we believe each and every word is the cost of life so cheap the dead can easily afford
8.
and i found no solace in my final breath these ruins further crumbling around my head I’m being strangled by these shadows of my past if you want to should want to and i took no comfort in the kindness of my friends these walls i raised were all my own i’ve been disfigured by disgrace unerased loss of faith motivation escapes captivation at stake degradation unreplaced
