Through the branches, echoes the sounds
calling of engines, the spirit of life
the giving of the watcher, holder of the veil.
towers of moss, behold his throne.
Hear him shout the forest to life
awe his stride falling the stones
The Watcher holds peace in hand
crushing the fall of the land

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
