After "Through The Darkest Hour" had been a good portion doomier, the faster passages are returning with "Downfall", but never watering the solid Doom-foundation! After a short piano-introduction "Phantoms" serves us the first slab of great mid-paced Doom, which unites all trademarks of the SOLITUDE AETURNUS-sound. The foundation is Doom, heavy, broad, epic and in the case of the Americans time and again interspersed with faster passages and, of course, a world-class voice. - www.metal-observer.com
