The number of similar compilation albums increased with time. It was one of the signs that school styled extreme bands were missing. Eternal Darkness was one of the not many bands who slowed down while the main scene was about to increase the speed and intensity of their music. This direction wasn't so popular, so it's no wonder that the band didn't spark much attention that time. But to mix doom influences was very suitable for their obscure music, and they've created a genuine dark atmosphere. On the side of the basic primitive themes, dirty-noisy sound and deep growling vocal style, they often operated with simple melodies that could be very helpful for the listener to merge into the depths of "Total Darkness". These are sometimes acoustic melodies that may sound strange together with the raw noisy mass, but these have created an interesting contrast together. They definitely don't fit together, as they sound like a failed attempt to copy something else on a tape record, but still it was a pity if the band didn't do it like that, because this added a lot to their atmospheric sound. The compilation is extremely heavy, it's probably one of the most obscure death/doom musickness, that was recorded in the early '90s. "Total Darkness" could offer excellent entertainment for those who desire permanent brain damage!
