![]() I was in great anticipation after coming across the news of a new album and that anticipation reached to another level when the album cover and second track Estrangement got premiered just a few days back. I followed the path to The Drear and enjoyed it to some extent but Netherwards is completely on its own league.

The last track Ouranophobia I remember clearly from ROD III. The Insatiable Hole is continuously plodding, dark and subtle with melodic undertones while Despond has a section which picks up the pace slightly in the beginning (almost hitting death metal territory) before crashing downward into low tuned agony again. Echoing and pained hoarse vocals and slow riffs meet with they cavernous and plodding drums. They're dark and incredibly hypnotizing as they quake with unheard of sorrow, focused into the thunderous grooves expertly. The Drear is three tracks that hit just over ten minutes each and they are truly something to savor. In fact they decimated the venue with powerful, slow blows of melancholic doom. ![]() Shame on me I saw them at last winter and they did not disappoint.
