 Few are the opportunities for headbanging; The Dying Truth stabs, depresses, every time you recover, a damned snare hit kicks you back on the canvas.

 'Futile' is a gem that cannot at all be out of place within any collection of doom metal records and related genres.

 Entering the world of Cultus Sanguine is a painful experience, a long ordeal that traverses the darkest and most tormented sides of human existence.

 "'A Sanity Deranged' is a decidedly valid product, perhaps one of the best extreme works released in recent years."

 "The opening track 'No Life Leaves Here' is a programmatic manifesto of the album: pure atmosphere followed by sulfurous and sinister guitar riffs."

 Dive into Nightfell's 'A Sanity Deranged' and experience a chilling journey through death-doom's darkest depths.

 Obsessive heaviness, repugnant typically Doomy and an unrestrained, choking Death Metal style aggression.

 A promise of European Death-Doom that vanished into nothingness.

 "5 tracks of visceral, pure, and uncontaminated hatred,"

 "Giovanni’s extremely exasperated and inhuman vocals, which at some points of the record are neither growl nor scream, but are literally yelled, at the limit of human vocal cord tolerance."

 Writhes in the Murk seethes, slithers, writhes; its forms liquefy, taking on various aberrant, undecipherable aspects.

 The Evangelists’ gospel courts abomination, defies logic without indulging or offering any foothold.

 Dive into the dark abyss of Writhes in the Murk and experience Ævangelist's twisted metal vision today!

 A crystalline prism of extremely high notes, beyond any logic; I take Chris Cornell in the early Soundgarden albums as a reference. But Scott goes even further: an alienating, insanely schizophrenic wail.

 Like Meshuggah, before Meshuggah, and even better than Meshuggah.
