The Maniacal Vale

Esoteric

A hundred minutes of hallucinogenic funeral doom. Dissonant triple-guitar textures and cavernous reverb create an overwhelming, slow-motion descent into the abyss.

June 16, 2008 · Season Of Mist

An overwhelming sense of cosmic dread balanced by moments of strange, shimmering beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition ten minutes into Circle where the guitars shift from crushing weight to a soaring, psychedelic lead melody
The terrifying silence that precedes the explosive, distorted entry of the vocals on Ignotum per ignotius
The way the drums on Caucus of Mind maintain a tribal, hypnotic rhythm beneath layers of swirling feedback
