THE RITUAL FIRES OF ABANDONMENT

To be honest, I haven't heard better album in year 2007. Sludgy sound of Neurosis mixed with clima of the old, psychedelic rock, coldness of Joy Division, post-rock and krautrock. Saxophone borrowed from John Zorn (in two tracks), acoustic, tribal percussion and fantastic vocals sometimes more similar to Scott Kelly (Neurosis), sometimes to Glenn Danzig. The Ritual Fires Of Abandonment are great musical travel for everybody, who expect from ambitious metal something more than Dream Theater's speed!
