Recent discussion threads of an album that I actually quite liked and its associated review brought to my mind the question of what exactly it is that separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to extreme doom; come Awards season, it’s not always easy to determine what makes one slow, trudging, heavy release stand out against a lot of the pack. Unfortunately, it’s easier to identify what differentiates them from albums such as Ellipses II: Astronomicon Collapse.
