Album Significance:

Remastered for Modern Listening:
This edition boasts newly band-approved remastered audio, meticulously handled by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, ensuring a superior listening experience for fans of heavy and doom metal.

Their enduring legacy and influence on subsequent generations of doom and heavy metal bands, from My Dying Bride to Paradise Lost, solidify their status as genre leaders.
