Stephan Progressive doom metal with a bluesy edge to their fuzzy guitar grooves! A psychedelic presence is also there, this time without the saxophone.....There’s also some good old Rock ‘n’ Roll ! Favorite track: Lucifer's Revenge.

Richard Neary I never knew there was a 'spaghetti western doom' genre of metal. Now I've been enlightened. And my life is much better for it. Why isn't everyone buying this?

Misfit1969 Seems to me this is a bit of a "concept album" and I'm not sayin that is a bad thing. Probably my favorite of the group I bought. Moves from ethereal to heavy and back. Someone likened this to spaghetti western doom, hell yeah! Favorite track: Deal with the Devil.
