Comme Satan Worshipping Doom et Miserable, Terminal est un album qui vraiment toute son ampleur quand il est écouté d'une traite car il s'agit d'une lente agonie qui s'étend sur presque trois-quarts d'heure. Les sonorités psychédéliques propres à Bongripper sont absentes et le stoner/doom metal du quartette tend plutôt vers une sphère atmosphérique (certains arpèges de "Slow" ne sont pas éloignés de celles de Earth) voire funéraire et la mort finit par s'imposer comme la seule évidence possible.

I'm recovering from an Ileostomy, having had my colon removed because of a m'fing tumor. I've got this stoma on my belly that I now excrete through into a fucking bag. Not happy. But Thou have put a smile on my face with this. Life's a bitch then you die. Best thing to do is make sure you've got a good soundtrack- and this is an amazing one moggydon
I have really fallen for this band. Alastor have a cavernous cathedral of sound, reverberating vocals and guitars with trance inducing drum rhythms offered as feedback-drenched hymns to our Angel of Light, Lucifer. What I love is that Alastor write actual songs with melodies, accompanied by dark poetic lyrical spells - memorable ear-worms which one hums and sings long after the music has stopped playing. Enchanting and seductive. Black Magic indeed. Master of Alchemy
