When melancholy and sadness drown your sould and there is no salvation.
The new album from Rotterdam, the Netherlands based sons of Doom/Death OFFICIUM TRISTE is nothing short of a soon to be classic in the genre, competing easily with the classics the Dutch Doom/Death scene released in it’s impressive history!
This is the album we all have been waiting for, the one we always knew OFFICIUM TRISTE would come up with some day and that time is right now. This is one hell of a truly consistent album that from start to finish convinces and drowns you in a lake of sadness and desperation, with a small movement in the direction of a bit more gloomy, gothic feel compared to their earlier releases. And it is extremely competent and well crafted, we would dare say it is the highest level within their genre, right up there with their inspirations such as My Dying Bride, Katatonia and Anathema! (...) After 20 years OFFICIUM TRISTE made their classic, the album that sets new standards for things to come.
