What can we expect after a 13 years hiatus? Well, at least most of us would have said "hope they don't fuck it up" right? COUNT RAVEN is back and I can safely say they still deliver the goods and what a way to do that in their new testament in the Doom pantheon!Ever since "The Poltergeist" kicks in you get the feel this is going to be addictive as heroin to a junkie. This band has been always one of the very few BLACK SABBATH impersonators that are actually worth spending a penny for.
It is really amusing to listen this new set of tracks and confirm their skillset to create one of the most enjoyable blend of wisely constructed Doom -meets-old fashioned Heavy Metal have not changed after all these years. Everything you knew them for in their earlier works is still latent now, reformulated, still defying & repackaged but all in all a welcomed addition to your collection.
It is kind of non-sense to dive on a track by track examination because this is to be enjoyed in its entirety. So, get this, dim the lights, grab a drink and something to smoke (your choice! jejeje) and enjoy this brilliant album. Get it HERE.
