"Hey man, do you really think we have to put the style of music that we play on the album cover?"
"Um, yeah, how else are people gonna know what we sound like?"
"They could, you know, just listen to the CD."
"But no one's gonna listen to it if they don't even know what it sounds like, you fucking idiot."
"OK, fine, you're right. But can we at least take out the "depressive" part? 'Cause it's pretty redundant, seeing as how, like, all funeral doom is depressive."
"... Look, where were you when I sent this shit out to be printed?"

Weird, amateurish Dutch/Finnish funeral doom. Possibly the weirdest thing about this album is how not-heavy it is. The guitars are tinny and low in the mix, so when the funereal keyboards come in they dominate. But there's something compelling, even hypnotic about it, and it doesn't sound quite like anything else I've heard.

Track listing:
1. Memories
2. What I Have to Hide...
3. Shape of Depression
4. Your Eyes [bonus track]

Under the gallows pole
Unmarked grave awaits
