 Imagine the early Pink Floyd, blend them with the more spacey Hawkwind and throw this sonic magma into doom/proto black metal scenarios.

 Five tracks inseparably fused together that seek (and in my opinion, succeed remarkably) to take the listener to sad and desolate territories while making their eardrums bleed.
