This is total slow as shit death metal! Rigor Sardonicous has taken the doom metal format to the next logical extreme. Although it contains no memorable riffs, the cd highlight is the epic “Phases of Death” a terrifying journey of diabolical sonic atrocity which best defines the band and the album. Rigor Sardonicous sound much closer to Morgion than the British big 3 down overlords [Anathema, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost] they have no gothic elements of the aforementioned bands, their foundation are purely metal, the vocals, however could use a bit clarity because I’m hearing nothing but indecipherable growls which really dampens the effect of the entire thing. This is definitely something you can’t listen to everyday, unless you are manic, incurable, depressive thrash like me. Rigor Sardonicous brand of lethargic sonic sludgery will make you want to commit suicide. –willie desamero
