New opus from this Australian doom cult. As its white booklet, previous album "The June Frost" was challenging album for MC. They expand their musical horizon by that album and showed us where doom music can be. This time, they turned back to dark color. This album has only 4 songs, 2 typical middle length(enough long compared to other bands!), 1 acoustic bases songs, and 30 minutes over epic. Yes, it's the same order of "The Monad of Creation" album. Layered melodies, mixure of sorrowful emotions and solemnity, well-arranged song structures. They brushed up those elements and crafted new masterpiece of doom!!!
