I followed the signs
Inscribed on that obelisk
A timeworn map
To the mausoleum
Forbidden city beneath the crypt
Charnel wonder of ancient myth
I placed the relic on the altar
And saw the obscure entrance revealed
I travelled down those stairs
Stood at the ledge to see
Catacombs deep within the earth
Specters roaming below me
I was drawn
To descend
Become undead
Forbidden city beneath the crypt
Charnel wonder of ancient myth
Forbidden city from epoch gone
Where I am now entombed in ceaseless death

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

The hefty and dire atmosphere is perfectly accentuated by that melodic guitar tone that weaves its way through each sprawling track adding clarity and beauty. However, it is all ripped down and muddied by the sinister vocals, which are that gravelly deep tone that befits both death and doom so wonderfully.
The pacing and song lengths on this album are spot on, and it again hits that sweet spot between both genres. When it veers into some more sludgy or brutal points, it is absolutely crushing. Lorenzo
Featuring members of Gatecreeper, Skeletonwitch, and Wolvhammer, Noose Rot deliver a grimy, crushing take on death doom. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 19, 2018
An ambitious, yet tightly executed, death metal debut that trades in crushing riffs, funereal effects, and even the odd Shakespeare quote. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2023
