Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus (2003)


Irish doom royalty. Melodic and crushing -- emotionally and sonically -- with a trance-like pull that only grows stronger as the album progresses.

Track listing:
1. The Words That Crawled
2. It Almost Looked Human
3. The Insolent Caul
4. Narcissistic Funeral
5. My Sullen Sulcus
6. Anger's Steaming Arrows

The knotted despair of a ravaged corpse

  1. I'll go to my grave saying "Narcissistic Funeral" is one of the greatest doom metal songs ever written and recorded. The part of the song from 6:03 to 8:15 floors me every single time I hear it. Personally, I don't feel like Mourning Beloveth was ever able to recapture the magic of this album on any of their successive efforts. A true doom metal masterpiece. Btw, download link is broken....
