Good mid-paced OSDM, has a haunting quality. FFO Bolt Thrower. Will sure check out earlier albums as well - Arches of Entropy, The Doom Skeptron and Chasmic Transcendence. jstpierre

This LP will confuse some. It has some blackened touches but it doesn't delve into any placid atmospheres. Rather it is music for battling and about warfare and death-struggles. This Dutch band pounds the drums in an Orc-like, violent manner. The warfare is non-stop and unrelenting. In a way it mirrors the life of a spiritual warrior. The pounding channels the guitars, which alternate between abrupt chromatic confrontation (e.g., Demoncy) and gentle unfolding melodies. Superb BM! xhrl_

Purposeful, this LP’s metal consists primarily of low-to-mid-paced riffs from doom, DM, & BM. These are complemented by influences from prog-rock, in which tonal contrasts add nuance & a way of connecting parts within the album. Everything is structured with meticulous care, avoiding the wild-blend sensation that seems at best pretentious & at worst aimless. Guided by low-pitched vocals that provide a sturdy musical framework & continuity, Condor has produced metal that is very beautiful! Wow. xhrl_
