Why does the scene need this ep? Well, Loathfinder is one of those bands who seem to look back to the early days of death doom, or doom death by adding deep growling vocals to thick riffs and pounding drums. On the other hand, the band drags in the screaming vocals of black metal and the atmosphere approach of the current post-scene.It's not overly complex but immensely captivating.
I'm sure that a lot of doom fans will start banging their heads slowly when they play these four epic tracks. Closer and title track 'The Great Tired Ones' is my personal favorite, closely followed by 'Feast On My Entrails' but I'm quite positive that all four of these tunes will often pop up in my doomed playlist. My advice? Well, obviously I recommend this piece of work to all you doomers out there. You know you want this...
