What I like: The lyrics! Especially to the opening track “He Who Accepts All That Is Offered (Feel Bad Hit Of The Winter).” I love how hateful and humbling they are, offering so much vitriol towards the over-glorified, hedonistic lifestyle of drug use that finds itself abundant in rockstar and alternative culture. The filthy, ominous sound of the song and vocals fits how nightmarishly surreal a bad drug hit might feel.
What I don’t like: Essentially everything else. Riffs are EXTREMELY boring, evoking absolutely nothing. Song compositions go nowhere fast…nowhere at all, actually, with the first track featuring no structural builds or crescendos in nearly 30 minutes of runtime. The drumming is better than most Drone drumming, because it’s present and does something. The production is fine, focusing on capturing as much of that wonderful guitar fuzz as it can, and succeeding in that. If you are a super textural person, I can see you enjoying this, as the guitars scratch your brain in a pleasant way, but I need A LOT more than that from a record to consider it “good.”
Still waiting for someone to utilize the potential of Drone Metal to actually build an atmosphere that evokes something other than nothing or nihilism (which is essentially nothing).

지글지글한 둠메틀?느림의 미학인 둠메틀의 기초에 충실하면서도 늘어지는 음색이 좋은 Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine 의 데뷔앨범 입니다. Lee Dorrian( Napalm Death,Cathedral때 보컬)/그리고 Sunn O))--->Greg Anderson,Stephen O'Malley 가 주축이 되어 만든 밴드입니다.Sunn O))스타일이 상당히 많이 엿보이는 편이며 둔탁하면서도 별다른 전개없이 길게 늘어지는 Drone doom 스타일을 보여줍니다.진부한 느낌보다 고무줄처럼 늘어뜨린 흐름과 보이스의 읊조림이 건조함을 크게 올려줍니다.

I don't listen to drone metal so much; I can relate to people who never feel like trying it. However, listening to a good drone metal album like this once in a while really helps me spread my wings and feel the real width that metal has to offer. I thanked myself for remembering to work in some drone.
