Another fantastic Altar of Betelgeuze record! Another Transcending Obscurity win! This shit is so so good! Heavier than the first, and more of a 90’s vibe, yet heavier at the same time. Love it!
Favorite track: No Return.

The Soundgarden-goes-stoner/doom vibe mixed with the harsher elements makes for a dynamic and invigorating listen. It reminds me a bit of the sadly defunct Horn Of The Rhino, which is certainly no bad thing.
Favorite track: Sledge of Stones.

Altar of Betelgeuze Digipak CD
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
We decided to offer something special to our first 50 buyers in addition to just the digipak CD, which is a A3 size poster of the extended album artwork. This is a very economically priced package and a memorable one at that we hope. This band deserves more and hopefully we're doing enough. Thanks.
Please note that the posters are now sold out but the digipak CDs are available separately.
Altar of Betelgeuze from Finland are onto something special. Not content with playing either doom or death metal, the band merge influences from both realms so to speak and create a seamless sound where clean singing and growls both have a place. Essentially Altar of Betelgeuze play stoner doom but with the heaviness and relative structuring of death metal. Long, winding songs that are at once emotive and crushing enthrall the listener for extended periods of time, while you are left wondering about suitable parallels for this unique band. 'Among the Ruins' is a definitive present-day album, when it's no longer about mimicking your idols but taking the sound forward in a logical, sincere manner.

Actually first heard of this band with their song "Starless" from their forthcoming album. I was blown away with the melodic/heavy and amazing guitar work, bass, drums and vocals that took me on a journey. Most amazing and I cannot wait to hear their new album. Stefan B

And I thought I had everything I wanted from TOR. How wrong one can sometimes get.
Needless to say this is an absolute ripper of an album, ain't it? YomaBarr

Of the two Warcrab albums I like this one a bit better; it just seems heavier and more intense overall. That said, both albums are very good and recommended. Metallurgical Fire

Unfortunately, this is a prime example of an album with a strong opener and a weak rest of the album. The production is excellent; the instruments are half decent; the vocals are okay, but the lyrics are downright cringey. Heads for the Dead has no right to be as popular as they are within the metal underground, to be frank. Camel
