Cookieat This album realy grew on me. Now I can't get enough of its beautiful cello, haunting clean vocals and echoing guitar melodies drenchend in reverb. Favorite track: Chasms.

dylanmblanchard Beautifully crafted works of despondence, longing, and feelings too big to describe. This record is a sonic journey into the darkness that you'll feel better for having taken! Favorite track: Chasms.

about

Oakland, CA quartet LYCUS return with Chasms, an intensely powerful and emotive masterpiece of funereal doom metal. Recorded at Atomic Garden Studios with producer Jack Shirley and featuring art from celebrated Italian mastermind Paolo Girardi (Inquistion, Bell Witch), Chasms is four immense tracks of deep, unbridled gloom. Complete with massive clean / bellowing vocal arrangements, atmospheric cello accompaniments, and enormous compositions, LYCUS have created another mournfully expressive work of timeless doom.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
