“Those Poor Bastards are the best gothic country I have heard yet to this day. The depressing gloomy vocals coming out of this drifter named Lonesome Wyatt has hints of Marilyn Manson to Nick Cave, Throw Rag and maybe even a hint of a demented Adam Ant with a shot of a pilled up Johnny Cash… And The Minister is backing up Lonesome Wyatt with a style that is a cross between erie strung out folk music with a creepy blend of The Nightmare Before Christmas!!!!!!!!!”
— Hank Williams III

“Even in a crisp digital format, the new Songs of Desperation sounds as if Harry Smith dug it out of some trunk in a long-abandoned Mississippi shack that was once shared by The Cramps, Nick Cave, and The Louvin Brothers. The miserable, primitive duo carries on as if the graveyard is but a step ahead, the devil a step behind, and there’s hell to pay in every direction.”
— The Onion

    I claim the problem with Behold The Abyss is quite the contrary, I just cannot see why is the album vital to the novel and vice versa. Even though both are based on the same background, their overlapping is quite superfluous.

    I can understand if people feel that Behold The Abyss suffers from not standing on it's own. It relies on another piece to create the full meaning of the work. But, all in all, it is a beautiful piece of work, the book and the album together are right up there with the best of Those Poor Bastards.

    I don't get the disappointment - I find the album pretty solid. Doesn't stand up to Satan is Watching, or the Plague in my opinion, but still very good and up there with their top material. (And I've not familiarized myself with it yet, I'm sure it'll grow on me further).

    Overall i agree it's a pretty "ok" album, Thee End and Sacrificial Lamb for me are the standouts. But yeah, kinda disappointing.

    Yeah, the standouts for me are A Robe of Scarlet Thread, Your Faith Shall Be Tested, Sacrificial Lamb and Thee End (the outro alone is so powerful), I might also add God's Dark Heaven. I think the album suffers from not being an entity of its own.

    It's alright, a couple of good songs on it. I think I like the book more than the album though.

    Как же здорово, что они не опускаются со своего уровня.

    The new album is rather... disappointing. Nothing special about it, I was expecting more.
