WOW,WHAT A GREAT ALBUM.IF YOU LIKE EARLY BLACK SABBATH THEN THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.A SOLIDLY PLAYED AND RECORDED ALBUM THROUGHOUT WITH PRETTY GOOD SONGWRITING TOO.WELL PRODUCED WITH GOOD,CLEAN,WELL SEPERATED SOUND...GOOD HEADPHONE ALBUM.I'M NOT OVERLY FAMILIAR WITH THESE GUYS OTHER THAN WINO IS ON THIS RECORD AND HE'S BEEN AROUND AWHILE...THIS GENRE OF MUSIC IS PRETTY MUCH UNDERGROUND AND SO YOU HAVE TO DIG A LITTLE TO COME UP WITH GEMS LIKE THESE...VERY "HEAVY",70'S RETRO KIND OF FEEL...RECOMMENDED ALONG WITH ANOTHER OF THEIR CDS CALLED "THE BLACK IS NEVER FAR".I GAVE THIS A FOUR AND ONE HALF STAR RATING BECAUSE OF A COUPLE OF INSTRUMENTALS ON THE DISC WHICH I DON'T CARE FOR ALSO THE SOLOS ARE A LITTLE FAR BACK IN THE MIX FOR MY TASTE...LIGHT ONE UP AND ENJOY...........

This album is fronted by the underground metal legend Wino of the Saint Vitus and the Obsessed. He hooked up up with Victor Griffin of Pentagram for this one album. This most impressive album was greatly under appreciated as much of Wino's music is. It is one of the best heavy albums I have ever listened to. The combination of Wino and Griffin were undeniable in this release. Place of Skull's "With Vision" has a powerful dark sound to to it that grooves. The riffs work along with the dark feeling conveyed that is both heavy and inspirational at the same time. Wino did this album but then left to form The Hidden Hand. I got into Wino's Hidden Hand, but even that great band did not equal this one. In my opinion this was Wino's best stuff. If your into classic doom metal you will be impressed. My jaw dropped when I first listened to this...
