Trampled underfoot by this war elephant of an album. Mountain Throne manage to honour tradition while adding their own special flavour. There are some quirky and charming ideas here.

Nothing short of sensational. If you're into Epic Metal from the days of yore, this will definitely tickle your fancy.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
