Album Notes

"Ol’ Scratch have been impressing me since Blood Puddin came out and with each EP since, they’ve been getting better and better; The Sunless Citadel is the culmination of several years of hard work, with a reinvigorated line-up and a diseased set of songs that are punishing yet memorable. No boring skippers here, just track after track of fire n’ brimstone chucking hate-doom that is sure to lend these boys some widespread, international appeal. Let’s just hope this line-up holds true, because this is easily on par with the band’s live show (something you got to hear for yourself…I guarantee you it is one of the loudest experiences you’ll ever have), placing them in a category unto themselves." -HELLRIDEMUSIC.COM

"...the band covers a lot of ground on this album.If there is any weak point at all its the drum sound which seems to get buried a little at times under the monstrous bass sound.Normally that would hurt the rating but with the songs being so good and solid it doesn't affect the overall listening experience of this CD.Conclusion - this is my favorite CD of the year so far,a release so good that i don't know if this band will ever top it.Its out on Oppresive Sound System and the artwork and package is pretty damn good also.I hope everyone into Sludge and Doom check this mutha out.Essential.... 10/10" DOOM METAL ALLIANCE
