Moving slow across a vast wasteland of dreary landscapes, Moss's world is gloomy and achingly painful. Like the films of Amando De
Ossorio, horror, history and the occult clash in a sonic onslaught writhing with pain, misery, and fear. For years now Moss have been one of those bands in the Doom scene to remain consistently the same, save for some production issues here and
there.
The guitar and vocals are distorted to points where they're not recognizable, creating sounds that can be both squeamish and heavy. Most people probably could not listen to this as is. It sounds more like the backdrop to a horror flick, save one song, the cover of Discharge's "Maimed and Slaughtered." One of the finest versions of this song I have ever heard, and definitely not commonplace for Moss's sound.
In some ways we have a simpler album than the band's previous efforts, focused on the atmospheric elements rather than musical prowess. The vibe created far surpasses anything else out there in the genre, barbaric and heartless in its approach, the sound of pure evil. One can only imagine decapitated bodies and rotting flesh when listening to this.
