Turgid Sludge
Listening to this album is like walking through a mile of mud in combat boots. Painfully bad.

Pallbearer certainly keep it gloomy with their song titles and bleak lyrical content but this is a magnificent triumph of a record. An album of the year contender, for sure. Classic, epic doom, with great 'clean' vocals rather than harsh growls. Generally, the tempo is slow as you'd expect, but sometimes the guitars let rip - the spiralling climax to An Offering of Grief is stunning. Anyway, if you like doom, metal with a retro feel or just wallowing in glorious melancholy, this is the album for you.
BEST Albumn of my whole life!
