This is one of my favourite black metal releases of the year. Beautiful, haunting, and atmospheric; it really takes you out of your own head. Brilliant work! PJ
Having played Contemplations far too often than is healthy, I find this to be the perfect replacement. While we get treated to the desperate delivery style that is Abysmal Chaos, and we have those lovely long intros too, there is also a good helping of the low key elements that we experienced on Contemplations. I just love the calm before the storm - no band does it better surely ! Andy
NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
