In addition to its placement on Metal Injection's
Top 5 Funeral Doom albums of 2017, Vin de Mia Trix's double-album "Palimpsests" also was listed as the #1 album of 2017 on
Wonderbox Metal's Top 30 list encompassing all metal genres!!
The top slot on this year’s end of year list goes to a truly ambitious and beautifully crafted record. Palimpsests is a monolithic piece of work, lasting a colossal 98 minutes and providing the listener with a sumptuous banquet of rich, textured music to savour and enjoy. Vin de Mia Trix play expansive and layered doom metal, lovingly crafted with a strong emotive presence and a firm death/doom bias. This is music that truly offers an absorbing and engaging listening experience. The music is sprawling and multifaceted, widely exploring its musical environment with the confidence of an apex predator. This is a fully-fledged musical odyssey, one that demands your attention, before whisking you away on the type of epic journey that comes around so infrequently. Yes, Palimpsests is my rightly-deserved album of the year. It’s an utterly essential listen.
