More Info "Zähfliessende Lava-Gitarren-Drones, unglaublich tief und schwer und langsam und von unterirdischer Schönheit... ein sägend-vibrierender Overkill von Stephen O’Malley (KHANATE, BURNING WITCH) und Greg Anderson (GOATSNAKE)." [Drone Rec.] "Bizarre ambient space metal... Instrumental doom without drums, “Flight of the Behemoth” is best likened to Fripp and Eno’s “No Pussyfooting” gone metal. Like a metal meditation album, the space dirges seek to induce hallucinations in the listener. I’m not kidding. This is a fascinatingly warm ambient album that envelops you but it has a dark tone that is done very artistically. There is power here to change your mood and reduce your heart rate after a mere 30 seconds of play. The long notes of the guitars bleed slowly, continually coating the walls of the listening space with hypnotic resonance. After only a few listens it is still very difficult to tell the tracks apart, but this is not an album where the creation of distinct tracks was the goal, it is far more along the lines of a single track divided into movements..."
