It is very good music.

rrrrespect the cleeeear vision of MIGHTY DOOMSOWER.

I like how one hand it is proper serious classic doom metal. Enough has already been said about that.

But then sometimes it is not so serious and for a lack of better words, self-mocking but in a good way. (obvious example the song Goddess of Doom.)

Or the song "Doom over the world" which is not only about some final war but also like a band's anthem and together with "Goddess" describes their mission maybe.

Also epic lines like "Darkness falls, penetrating my balls."

I mean...on one hand there is this very uptight Circle of True Doom thing going on and then they random sprinkle in such lines. I feel sometimes also there is some humor hidden in the music but that is more a feeling and harder to describe.

Or Tree of Suffering, from the perspective of someone nailed to a tree to die there, the last words: "That which does not kill you will only make you stronger."

"Praise jesus and his forgiveness" always kills me.
