I really enjoy the stark beauty in this album, after a few listens I was just getting totally lost in that bright haunting guitar. Marathon in particular is a stand out track to me, the drums sound like a warrior beating his shield to ward off death. Forsaken Tarn, seems to capture in it's lyrics, some lost soul wondering some desolation, but the music develops this somewhat dissociative brightness and triumphal sound at moments, a really interesting contrast.

I'm strongly tempted to place this in my top 5 albums of the year, it's nothing groundbreaking, but the drumming and tone here brings something interesting to the table. Let me know your thoughts.

I've had this on repeat today. Crushingly sad.

I'm gonna fix myself a coffee, put my headphones on sound isolation mode, and listen to this uninterrupted.

Some late-night listening.

This is a great cover.

The original is "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay.

This album floored me when I first heard it. Amazing.

This is probably my favourite Shape of Despair album, although there's stiff competition from Angels of Distress.

There isn't a track out of place on this album, and the song "The Distant Dream of Life" always gives me chills. I love that they included a re-recorded version of "Written in My Scars" at the end too.

Blissful funeral doom from who knows where?

Some great Finnish funeral doom.

A lovely track off Shape of Despair's latest album "Return to the Void".

I can't listen to this that often because it's way too poignant. A masterpiece of funeral doom.
