          Notes:


          Canadian Doom Mongers return with ôMoons in Penumbra.ö
          Vocalist and main man Steve Hennessey's vocals are
          still at full whack with Ozzy inflections and mournful
          melancholy. The band play slow, heavy and cleanly and
          it is clear from the off with quasi title track
          Penumbra that the listener is in for a retro treat of
          Sabbathian gloom.

          The pace quickens for Shadows and harmony guitar is
          used to lovely effect. Hooky chorus too- classy and
          catchy. The solo is fluid and not overdone before the
          song's strong refrain returns.  Visions returns to ôVol
          4ö style pacing and downbeat vibes before Totality
          ratchets up the pace a little again. There is plenty of
          space in the riffs (literally) so the track is not
          frantic, but still laid back and morose.

          Eclipse has some astronomy in its lyrics and, again,
          effective riffing. The song has a really laid back feel
          to it- as indeed the whole record. Early Sabbath
          comparisons are not unfounded- but the record does not
          reach the heights (depths?) of Sabbathian heaviness due
          to the airy sound of some of the riffing and the
          general approach. In fact, this lightness of touch
          allows for a more organic and unusual album that just
          may be a perfect soundtrack to the springtime we are
          hoping is going to appear any minute.

          Warning is not a cover of the track of the same name
          from you-know-who's debut and is instead a slow trudge
          through the denser streets of  Sheavy's world. Heavy
          and foreboding it sounds exactly like its title.

          Memories continue the melancholic woe with a longest
          offering on this record, while Freedom finishes in
          style with creepy intro and a more ethereal style to
          the riffs. Overall, the record will sate your need for
          the more melancholic side of Sabbath (albums four and
          five) and will take you on an enjoyable and
          surprisingly multi dimensional ride at the lighter end
          of the doom spectrum.
