The Flight Of Sleipnir - Algiz/Berkanan

This a very interesting release from a project created by Clayton Cushman(Acheronian Dirge,Ex-Throcult) and David Csicsely.Based on the Poetic Eddas and Norse mythology this album is a very experimental Psychedelic Doom affair that is a bit hard to get into at first but after a few listens you will dig the sounds they came up with.The album is basically split into 2 parts,the first being Algiz which is a 19 minute epic that brings together a slice of Pink Floydish style Doom Metal crossover.The second half "Berkanan" is 3 songs that continue in a similar vein but is made up of 3 shorter tracks.

The sound is bleak for the most part which adds to the Psychedelic Doom atmosphere.The playing is excellent and while the production may not be 100% it is good enough to compliment what they are trying to get across.Trying to describe the songs is quite difficult because i think everyone that hears it will get something different out of it.If you like to hear something unique in the world of Doom,you will want to hear this.It is going to be released on CD limited to 100 copies and they are looking to put this on vinyl also.Check it out.8/10
