  • Doom Metal Sequel Delivers

    5 out of 5 stars
    lixonuglNovember 14, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This isn't the most silent record I've come across, but it's not too shabby either. There's just a slight, constant 'whoosh' in the calmest parts. From a musical standpoint, it's an excellent sequel to their debut, Theatre Of Tragedy - Theatre Of Tragedy. It's quite similar in style, featuring 'beauty and the beast' vocals atop doom metal tunes. The lyrics are mostly in Olde Englisch, with one track in German. The themes are worth pondering. It's far from typical doom metal fare, offering some genuinely thoughtful content.

  • Звук хорош, но есть хрип

    4 out of 5 stars
    BajuwvlivJanuary 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Звук отличный, но есть небольшие потрескивания, которые заметны в тихих местах. В целом, неплохой вариант для прослушивания. Кстати, пластинки весом по 150 грамм.

  • Early Japanese Versions Altered Art

    3 out of 5 stars
    Dz_WehaqtyOctober 14, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Some early Japanese versions messed with the original art and text on the back cover, particularly the disc's design.

  • Crisp Audio Re-release Triumph

    5 out of 5 stars
    QPDLSeptember 5, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Fantastic re-release! Kudos to cosmic key creations! I'm blown away by the richness and the crispness of the audio. Plus, zero surface noise troubles too!

  • Kristine's Dark Doom Mastery

    5 out of 5 stars
    tarwun_monpodApril 30, 2024United States🇺🇸

    In this album, Liv Kristine takes on a more prominent lead vocal role, which is a definite plus. The rough male vocals are still there, creating a striking beauty/beast contrast. It's incredibly dark with a powerful doom atmosphere. The sound is fantastic.
