"The Pendulum" perfectly shows that these timeless Swedish pioneers are the undisputed kings of epic doom. The opening / title track "The Pendulum" begins with a melodic, head-banging and thrashy rush - setting the stage for the raw and unfiltered demo cuts to follow. Says band mastermind Leif Edling: “‘The Pendulum’ is hard riffing, epic choruses and total delusion in a fanatical way. It is, in fact, the last thing I wrote for “The Door To Doom” album but didn’t have time to finish it. Here it is in its grand / crazy brilliance with a great mix by Niklas Flyckt, and produced by Marcus Jidell. It is followed by five previously unreleased demos from “The Door To Doom” sessions because the whole sha-bang was initially meant to be a double effort but was eventually reduced to a single album.”
