AOTY #25: Samothrace - Reverence to Stone

Two tracks. Too good. Reverence to Stone from doomsters Samothrace is an incredibly powerful and transformative album. It's heavy and lush and rips the listener away from the real world enveloping them in its emotional soundscapes. For a clearer picture of what I mean, you can read my full review at Hellbound.ca below.

Samothrace - Life's Trade

Here is my short take on Life's Trade by Samothrace. The first time I listened to this I was not in a good place. I was really down and just feeling bad. So, this was just what I needed (?). It sounds depressing. I didn't want to listen to something fast or happy or even something angry or violent. So as far is slow depressing metalgaze/doom goes, this is top-notch! Or if you were stoned, top-notch! Unfortunately, I am neither stoned nor depressed so it wasn't really doing anything for me this time around. It is a good album, it just falls in that "I need to be in the mood for it" category.
