"In short, this debut from the UK's Solstice is an excellent album firmly in the mold of clean-throated, classy doom metal that CANDLEMASS created and SOLITUDE AETURNUS perfected. Fans of those two bands should eat this one up; the only complaint i could make is that it fits the mold a little too well, not offering anything new to the style. But Solstice would tend to that on their second album, the incomparable 'new dark age' (see separate review). Nevertheless, hereon Solstice capture all the ambient, doomy melancholy that any fan of 'into the depths of sorrow' or 'nightfall' could ever want."
Fantastic!

"This is an amazing CD. "Lamentations" is highly recommended for anyone into Doom Metal. This CD is very depressing, yet strangely uplifting at times. Extremely enjoyable Doom..."
