Cracking band name, superb album title...this is a weird one indeed. If you're looking for obscure and heavy then 'The Spooky Gloom', blessed with a great album cover too, will be your thing. Doomy, quagmire death gloom, pounding grey riffs, slabs of concrete drums, bassy drama, sludgy vocals, a haze of abysmal solitude and gruelling passion. A few up tempo tracks among the six leviathans of offer, when the band raise their serpentine head this is something akin to a fleshy death-thrash epic, but somehow, like Winter's 'Into Darkness', this stands alone. An album of peculiarity, the one that got away as it writhes like a great, fatty boa constrictor into the murky river.
7.5/10
