Let’s not mince words – this is an absolutely stunning album. It’s an ambitious release too, containing 98 minutes of colossal, weighty, emotive doom metal spread out over only four tracks. ‘Palimpsests’ is epic and adventurous, taking the listener on what is not only an epic journey, but an outright odyssey of texture, rich emotion, and dark atmosphere. Merging together elements of doom metal, post-metal, funeral doom, atmospheric doom, progressive rock, and the death / doom styles, Vin de Mia Trix have created a hideously impressive masterpiece with ‘Palimpsests’. This is an album that just needs to be experienced. I urge you in the strongest possible manner to go and do just this, as soon as you can. Bathe in the luscious, sumptuous waters that Vin de Mia Trix provide for your refreshment; this is music not commonly encountered and should be loved and savoured accordingly.
