Title: Forged Relics

Giving this a spin at the minute. Sounds decent to me. Slovenian funeral doom which has been pared down to organ, drums and vocals. Skepticism are an obvious point of reference but it reminds me more of O Solitude by Pantheist or even that band Weirding... or is it Wyrding? The dudes used to be in Leechmilk, a sludge band I'm only familiar with by name. But this is not sludgy at all so far.

Must give this a go. Leechfeast were also deadly,  saw them live a few years back and they were absolutely crushing. None of this stoner/wizard/amp worship shit,  just sheer nihilism.

Also must give Leechmilk a blast as well. Hadn't thought about either of these Leech- bands in a while

Just made me think of Leechwoman and their one good album.

So I suppose I should try this out of politeness

This isn't bad, but kind of runs out of steam a bit I think. The idea is good but maybe the creativity isn't quite there to make it interesting over 40 minutes. Or maybe it's a grower...
