Info:
The Lamp of Thoth really know how to emanate a sinister feeling of obscure times, painting in the listener's mind a bleak vista of obscure covens, cults, fogy English shores and secret spells of old.
They hold and release their unique talent to translate epic mystery to its sonic equivalent. Ominous riffs, dark theatrical vocals and semi-ritual like drumming serve as the band's seemingly simple tools with which they transcend the listeners from their comfortable habitat straight and effortlessly into dark times of ignorance, witchcraft and burning heretics.
Unfortunately, the last couple live tracks that have been added as a bonus to this re-issue of the original EP, were totally uncalled for and serve as a sour dessert at the end for quite a delicious feast. These tracks are loosely performed, under-produced and unprofessionally recorded. The choice of picking up these two amateurish live songs was poor and hasty a decision, for they pale in comparison to the initial and brilliant three studio-recorded tracks. Still a great album.
