Since these are related styles, the chance to create something great by mixing them is quite high, and that's exactly what Ufomammut did. There is a strong psychedelic and mesmerizing atmosphere that haunts through the album and takes the main role frequently from the distorted sludge/doom heaviness by the assistance of catchy stoner themes. They really did their best to try all possibilites and to put out the maximum from this enjoyable mix. This is definitely a new, modern level of stoner/doom influenced by Electric Wizard and Sleep. There are some vocal sounds too even though it's basicly and instrumental album, but these sounding completely blurred and became the part of the psychedelic atmosphere. Like in the case of a concept album, the message lies in the intensiveness of the music, the song titles are there just to give a hint. Unlike at other arty bands who lately appeared in this style, this message lacks the forced intellectual background, it's only about impressions. That's partly correct about psychedelic/stoner rock too in general, Ufomammut only introduced another possible way of reinterpretation.
