The meeting place for doom metal fans on the internet

“'Litost' sounds almost nothing like Mekigah's previous recordings. It is harsher by miles and very minimalistic compared to the lush and rich textures of the band's debut and sophomore. It is also showing hardly any signs of Metal music, but rather insanely cold, stripped-down orchestral and drum 'n' bass patterns - all performed against a constant wall of noise and distortion of the obliterating and most gritty kind. It's interesting how 'Litost' mixes brooding, cold and dark soundscapes with dark ambient, orchestral/martial and neoclassical music to form a unified coalition of sounds that are being synergized into a colossal and epic masterwork that sounds like the ultimate dark cabaret, if there ever was one. 'Litost' is a one of its kind album, removed both from Mekigah's previous works and from everything that's habitual and familiar offered by the majority of the underground-dwelling musicians.”
