 Heavy-Doom at its highest levels.

 We are not at the levels of the previous masterpieces of the early nineties, but the album in question is a fine record that condenses in just under sixty minutes of Heavy-Hard-Stoner-Doom.

 The Last Spire is beautiful, it is dense, sublime, overflowing with doom in every note or sound, from its dark inception, from the sinister croaking of crows, from the whistling wind, from the tolling of the death bell, from the threats of the possessed preacher, from the remnants of feedback heralding the atmospheric introduction "Entrance to Hell."
