clouds taste satanic - the glitter of infinite hell

that's the oddball among the records i got from kozmik artifactz. clouds taste satanic's fourth full length called "the glitter of infinite hell" is one of those records, that got my attention through the fantastic artwork. its obvious lean towards hieronymus bosch's "christ in limbo" appealed to me right away. when i read that the guys were an instrumental doom metal band, i already knew that this was one for me.
i love my instrumental metal bands. stuff like bongripper, pelican or animals as leaders are held in high esteem by my humble self. after i listened to one song of the record, i called clouds taste satanic a part of the same exclusive elite. the album consists of four songs, one for each side of the double vinyl release and has a considerable duration of approx. seventy minutes. so no easy listening but that is usually a good sign as long as i am concerned.
the album is worth every minute of attention. fantastic song structures, haunting melodies and musical variety make "the glitter of infinite hell" a hell of a strong doom record. the presentation is outstanding. what a beautiful work. the gatefold comes with embossed band logo and some spot gloss print on the inside, the dust sleeves also with spot gloss print and the vinyl discs on a lovely white and bronze merge with gold and oxblood red splatter. looks ace! 200 made. kinda like music reords. 2017.
