Url : If you know metal, you better goddam know and pledge allegiance

to Trouble. As in the seminal American heavy metal masters--and

Decibel Hall of Famers--responsible for most of how we've come to

define modern doom and stoner rock.... ''For Those Which Are

Asleep'' is a goddamn magnum opus of kaleidoscopic doom, sounding

like the album that shoulda coulda followed Trouble's] 1995

Plastic Green Head.'' ...The Skull's songwriting cleverly nails

all that their predecessors got right from before: mining the

darkest and most melancholy passages from Sabbath and Priest, and

injecting mad doses of mushroom cap-munching Pink Floyd grooves

and LSD-era Beatles hooks. Too many great songs to name them all

but future set staples will assuredly include, ''Sometime

Yesterday Mourning,'' ''The Door'' funereal in a ''Run To The

Light'' sorta way), and the awesomely dark and catchy ''Send

Judas Down.'' Decibel



It's exactly what one would expect from these musicians and

clearly attempts to fulfill the very aim The Skull was formed

for. It does not break any new ground in the musical sense but

then it simply does not need to, because throughout its ten

tracks it comprises definitive doom metal that packs a crushing

punch and is impossible to dislike for any true fan of heavy

music. From the opening track ''Trapped Inside My Mind'' right up

till the final moments of the tenth track ''The Last Judgement

the album has an undeniable flow that deems it a worthwhile

listen from start to finish and makes it hard to pick a favorite

track. All five members have put forth their best efforts as

individual musicians and the combined result is here for everyone

to bask in. Production-wise, it does complete justice to the

music. All in all, The Skull's ''For Those Which Are Asleep'' is

doom metal perfection. Rating: 9.5/10 --Metal Assault



Despite what other reunion acts have done to tarnish their

legacies and reputations, The Skull takes their songwriting

seriously...highly influential.'' BeatroutePlease Keep it For Continue Seeding and Help Others To Get Download
