Description/Reviews: 

Managing to be heavy without relying on mountains of distortion, the entire album has a hazy, nocturnal atmosphere evocative of the strangeness of the early hours when night is turning into morning but darkness still prevails. Opener “Fleeting are the Days of Man” begins proceedings in relatively brief and conventional fashion, sounding like a drowsy, slightly less Sabbath-fixated Witchcraft. The band then start to voyage into weirder more progressive territory with the ten minutes of “Summer’s Isle”. Covering dark, folk-tinged rock, driving, up-tempo riffing and passages of ecstatic, freeform psychedelic rock it makes for quite a ride. Although the traditional progressive elements of long songs covering different sections, moods and tempos are all present here, Garden of Worm’s execution makes them sound worlds apart from what you would expect. There is no pomp here; the overall sound is very lean and raw, favouring untamed improvisational soloing that teeters on the edge of chaos over virtuoso excess.
