From the label that brought us the excellent THY REPENTANCE, here is another top-notch release: TEARS OF MANKIND play a brand of sorrowful Blackened Gothic / Doom similar to PARADISE LOST circa 'Icon', with layers of haunting, heavily reverberated leads and both screamed and miserable clean vocals. This will also appeal to fans of KATATONIA's 'Dance of December Souls'. The production is crystalline and the graphic work highly professional, as is the musicianship. Totally engrossing and hypnotic. -Supernal
