Description/Reviews: 

Reports of the band’s evolution hold true, as Delusions provides a richer, far more textured experience than the earlier doom. In fact, because the tempo rarely slows to a molasses drop, “doom” in the traditional sense is only a small part of what Sahg is up to here. By reaching to a whole heap of 70s influences – inklings of everyone from Zeppelin and the obvious Sabbath to the darker side of Uriah Heep and Blackmore-ian riffage – but adapting them through means both modern and sneaky, the band is able to provide a wider range of rock hues than just the “great doom tracks mixed with decent doom tracks” approach of their early days.
