| Burden of Grief takes the listener on a journey to murky depths far removed from any fantastic or gothic cliché. Masterminded by Ed Warby (Gorefest, Hail of Bullets, Ayreon) is responsible while partner-in-crime Rogga Johansson (Edge of Sanity, Demiurg) lends his unmistakable guttural vocals to the mix. This maelstrom of pitch-black doom metal makes use of heavy riffs, melancholic piano passages, and monolithic song structures to express the protagonist's desperation. (2009) |
