To me this is DSBM at it's best. calming, emotion filled riffs, vocals are a perfect blend between heart wrenching and eerie, and last but not least, the ATMOSPHERE. One of my absolute favorites for this sub genre The Laughing Stock
While this album might not be anything particularly mind-blowing, it's still a good example of how DSBM should be done. I have a soft spot for this album as its seductive gloominess helped me through a certain rough patch in my life, and I believe it to be somewhat of a hidden gem. Rest in peace, Reverend John Hex.

Comme une impression que les meilleurs albums de Sadness sont ceux avec des arbres sur la pochette (je ne me suis jamais remis de l'interlude au piano de Wounded Solitude). La production sur Rain est très claire sauf pour la voix de Damián Antón Ojeda qui surgit par bourrasques, un peu comme celles qui arrivent pendant les périodes de pluies. Les instruments sont tous accompagnés d'une réverbération du plus bel effet. Rain est une libation et une inondation en même temps. Juste si émouvant... Jordan Vauvert
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
