One of the best albums that I´ve heard in a long time of melodic doom with some other influences. Don´t be afraid, it has a very good taste. The whole record is written, performed and produced by David Galas, with some collaborations in the guitar solos. Down-tempos, with clear voices that sometimes reminds me a lot to Alice In Chains, and musically closer to Type O Negative, some of Katatonia... I´ve really enjoyed that album these days. Take a look! Excellent stuff.

Live show belonging to his recent tour in 2010. What can I say? Mr.Lanegan alone with an acoustic guitar, wich means that we can enjoy much yet his amazing voice. I could see him on this tour and I´ve to say that It was one of the best shows of the last year, and one of the best male voices that I ever heard live. A good choice to begin this new year.
