"Twisted and inhumane, ‘Weighing Souls With Sand’ is an unknown horseman of the apocalypse. It’s an intoxicating cocktail of sludge, ambience and moribund gothic overtones, whose riffs hit like a hangover. It’s an unrelenting blizzard, a barrage of deathly poignancy shrouded in angelic light, which robs the listener of their right to fear death. To regard it as less than perfect would be a crime against music."
