Chicago's finest return with another meaty slab of epic doom, kinda Sabbath but very much on its own, gloomed up by Wagner's wails of doom and the ear-shattering funereal riffs, straight from the grave.'Pray For The Dead', pure Armageddon in the riffs, as catchy as hell but raining down upon you, whereas 'Fear No Evil' picks up the pace, and then 'The Wish' slowing things down with its eerie acoustic intro, and Wagner's hushed tones, this is 'Stairway To Heaven' but not for the faint-hearted, melting into monolithic riffs that crumble concrete, you can just see it now in the pits, thousands of metal fans bangin' away to these lumbering sounds of fury, Wagner's teachings echoing across the foggy horizon.
Final track 'The Skull' is my favourite here, wallowing in mystical majesty, the riffs plodding up the hill of solitude.
If Sabbath never happened I'd still like to think that Trouble would have still sent the message.
8/10
