A single, glowing review hails Darkness Come Alive as a heavyweight blend of extreme metal and hardcore, more sludge than traditional doom. The writing praises Nate Newton’s vocals, Kurt Ballou’s production touch, and the album’s start-to-finish impact. Highlights include “Heavy Lies The Crown,” “Come Alive,” “Lions,” “Jealous God,” and “Rotter.” Verdict: highly recommended.
