  • Unhurried in its heart tearing outcome, this taster release bludgeons you like the burden of a thousand tragic deaths.


  • 'aes' reached uncharted melodies and the music is bludgeoningly heavy and brutal for the amount of heart crushing feelings it brings with each listening. Skepticism is a respected being by an open minded group of elite funeral doom people that will very much be attracted to the appeal of this unique release.
