5.0 out of 5 stars
Victor is back with Wino creating a masterpiece of DOOM., September 18, 2003
This review is from: We Got This! (Audio CD)
For those of you familiar with the underground doom-metal scene, Place of Skulls should be as familiar to you as Pentagram, My Dying Bride, The obsessed, Sait Vitus, ect. If not, then hopefully this review will lead you to those bands and more if you decide to pick up this melancholic masterpiece.
Victor (ex-Pentagram) continues his (our) love for that classic Sabbath sound and puts forth on this disk enough dark, doom inspired riffs to fill a morgue. But it all comes from the soul and its so easy to recognize that his feelings are stamped all over the music and lyrics. Wino (ex spirit caravan, obsessed, Sait Vitus) helps out with guitar and vocals on a few of the songs, which only adds and improves upon Place of Skulls last release which was as nowhere as dark and moody. I could rant and rave about this powerful release which bleeds emotion, pain, and inner conflict but does so without loosing your attention or falling into a phychadelic drone, but I'll just say that if you have any love for melodic, sabbath inspired songs that reach into the soul and the truth then this is the CD for you. A much stronger CD than their previous effort that shines through from beginning to end.
