While not groundbreaking in any way, this stands as a fresh new piece of modern black metal which is worthy of a listen by those who feel the phrase "original black metal" has become an oxymoron. The album seems to go for a doom-black approach musically, which suits the lyrics and album title perfectly, reeking of alcohol and sadness like a lonely Saturday night when a bottle of beer and a guitar are your only companions. There's this constant aura of despair mixed with insanity which makes for an interesting listen. Especially during the numerous moments in which the piano takes the spotlight and plays something spooky. This doesn't mean this is a quiet, slow and doomy album, there's plenty of black metal action which tends to be epic and sorrowful most of the time, with ever increasingly improved vocals and musicianship.

2009 re-release in digipak with new layout and bonus tracks.
