Ever gone to sleep listening to this song? I recommend it

the album art and your review are reason enough for me to give it a listen.

Just finished listening to this and it fucking rules

"It looks like a fricking Dark Souls boss. I would say 'Praise the Sun', but nope, we're going down to Blighttown." I fucking love you and anyone who likes the Souls series.

so what's your favorite song?

"...all parts of the sadness buffalo." My new favorite quote. Kudos to you, sir.

The cover artwork is amazing

The album is exactly what I hoped it would be, based on that extraordinary album cover. You guys should make a special about metal album covers. Yesssssssssss. Amazing review

This album feels more New Londo Ruins than Blighttown, nonetheless, great review! Love the format.

This has got to be my album of the decade

No matter what the band is blane always makes it enjoyable

There's actually 2 CD's. One is titled "As Above" and the second disc is titled "So Below". As Above is a bit heavier and full of growls, screams. So Below is a bit more focused on chanting and it only has "clean" vocals.

I had the chance to listen to this double album, and..... this is something mesmerizingly deep in human's soul. This is.... well. You say a music can be great, brilliant, amazing. But there are no words for this. This is beyond music. This is the words of the soul's deepest pits. A journey to the roots. Thank you Bell Witch for this experience! Hope you can recover from your loss.

Nice work making a review that's both funny, accurately descriptive of the records tone and quality, while still being tasteful / respectful to the dead and the album itself even with comedic timing.

Dude, the fucking Dark Souls reference! 10/10!

Dark Souls reference had be DYING! "Nope! Goin' down to Blighttown."

The cover looks like Beksinski would paint such painting.

first time I gave this band a listen, I was at work and had to pause it once........the silence! I couldn't believe how quiet it got. This album is so massive in its sound, that the very absence of it causes black holes.

8:25 As a bass player, I sure hope you do ;)

One of the most sad and beautiful albums I've ever listened too. Amazing stuff

Mirror Reaper is a fucking masterpiece!

Great review man! You’re killing it.

I love your reviews! Great writing and tone! :)

Thanks man. Always love your humor-approach and reviews. Gonna listen to it today on spotify.

I would’ve never thought that I would watch a review for a metal record and see a Katt Williams Cameo. That was awesome. I love you Blayne 👍

Great review! Love how this channel has opened my mind to a lot of bands I would never sit down and listen to on my own.

Melancholic opening...dsbm vocals. ..sold! Going to look for this on vinyl immediately.

Excellent review. Both funny and informative. Well done !

By far the best review/video/piece of content I’ve seen on this channel

Nice review, picked this up digitally today, waiting upon vinyl arrival in Vancouver, saw Bell Witch play with Sub Rosa a few years back it was amazing

This review was gold. cracked me up, AND made me want to listen to the album.

Thank you for this review. Listening now, and this is transporting, and transformative. So amazing, they really give you time to appreciate every note and beat, so you can actually experience the entire thing in one sitting. And yet, I feel like I'm going to need to listen to it more than once anyway. So fucking good.

Awesome review, and so damn fun. I thought about picking it up on vinyl, but the interruptions when I have to flip/change the record would kill the mood. The Dark Souls references were awesome, too. Loving these reviews.

Just discovered Banger TV, and I am straight up hooked, especially on the reviews. I'm a huge doom fan, and once I heard some of this, I had to have it. I'm almost done with "So Below" and I have to say this is definitely one of my favs in quite a while. Thanks for turning me on to Bell Witch!

How have I only just got around to listening to this absolute masterpiece? This is one of the most apocalyptic sounding albums I've ever heard in my life.

Great video. Can't wait to buy this.

Blayne, you just became my favourite reviewer. How you took a sorrowful and depressing album and made the review so entertaining! I’m of to watch more of your reviews now. And yes, I am curious about the album now. Great artwork, too!

"all parts of the sadness buffalo" is the best line I've heard in a month about anything.

Another great review, and actually made me want to check out the album.

One of my favorite records of all time, for sure

Great review, I'm hooked. Love this record.

Great review - loving the album. Hey, can we see a Lock Horns episode about funeral doom? Certainly enough good bands to earn a section of its own on the chart, and it’s also a good opportunity to showcase an important current in Finnish metal.

Bought it on vinyl specifically so I could have the art full size. Oh and a single 83 minute track is amazing, too!

Can he just do ALL the reviews? Even if I don't always agree with what he has to say, he's the most entertaining to watch out of the bunch & I can respect what he brings to the table.

This album is fucking awesome!!

Great review and I found it quite entertaining.

Great review! Awesome album!

Great review (AGAIN). Great album. Great band. I bought tickets to see them with Yob this summer. I just caught Spectral Voice and highly recommended seeing them live, if they come to your town. Great Denver death/doom. No lighting, except a few candles and LOTS of smoke. It was an understated, yet memorable experience of the senses.

Beautiful darkness... One of the Albums of the year accompanied by one of the covers/album art of the year = Masterpiece.

2:34 couldn't tell if that was a deliberate sisters of mercy reference

God damn!! XD I love Blayne's reviews!!

It's simply amazing!!

Totally listeing to this at work!

Man, Blayne's reviews are great. Even if I don't agree on his take on the album, I love his take on any album. Great stuff.

Album is an excellent one for sure, good for just background music or a dedicated listen.

hilarious review!

I always love when he does album reviews funny makes my day...thank you looks and sounds doomy...

I love this dude. And this album sounds so fucking cool. Can't wait til they come to LA in December.

Liked because Dark Souls reference. Also, best album ever.

One of the best reviews ever

Going through older reviews - found a gem!

Blayne's reviews are the best.

Will there be a sons of Apollo review?

So yeah, I got really stoned yesterday and for the first time ever got a lil sick and genuinely didn't enjoy it, so I tried searching for some music to listen to, something I haven't heard before. Went through some oldschool death metal, didn't hit the mood, and then, after a while, got a recommendation for Mirror Reaper. Now, I have seen the album cover before and liked it. Seeing it desperate as fuck, I immediately clicked on it and laid down. AND FUCK. Yeah, this held me through the night. Incredible. What a fucking incredible flow of emotions. Insanely good. Gonna be listening to it today sober, it's truly fantastic.

please do all the reviews on this channel. man this guy is cool

Good review of a magical album !!!!!

Mirror Reaper may be one of my favorite pieces of doom that I've heard so far

good reviews dude

Should listen to Jupiterian! They follow a similar Bell Witch's line. Great blackened doom from Brazil

A nice stroll through New Londo Ruins, the Catacombs, The Great Hollow and finally through the Chasm of the Abyss!

I love Blayne's reviews so much! Him and Brad are carrying this

If anything this album justifies buying CDs/MP3s/Spotify over vinyl because it won't be interrupted three times by having to flip the record over.

Is it just me or did some of the riffs sound like an even slower version of early Anathema?

Only recently discovered this band. Very chill stuff.

I honestly love these

Just want to say I recognised the Sisters of Mercy reference on display here, Blayne

I'm going to check it out. Very much reminds of Sleep's "Dopesmoker" in that "Dopesmoker" was one track and awesome.

Dayum this is an awesome sound!!

Loved it !! 5 skulls I love beautiful doom . I am going through a ruff time in my life right now due to an accident that is making my depression worse and Doom helps me .

The album art definitely looks inspired by Zdzisław Beksiński. Check out his paintings!

Blayne is a great reviewer... and I like this album!

It would be awesome if you could review the new Sadness ep that is coming out on Tuesday.

Yeah knew it! Mirror Reaper is pretty great and really I haven't heard anything this year that competes (though Amenra and Tchornobog get close). Actually haven't heard anything since the last Bell Witch record that was as good as this. Been on repeat since it arrived early on monday (for some reason). Totally agree with the 5 skulls, this is something special. Though I'm not sure if I like it more than Four Phantoms (which is one of my top 10). Didn't think I'd encounter a Dark Souls reference here of all places! Though it looks more like New Londo than Blighttown ;)

If I’m 100% into this album but haven’t found any other doom I like what would you all recommend?

My husband has challenged me to get him this LP for his birthday... Anyone in the UK know where to get hold of a copy?? Great album but very elusive!

You got me interested.

Loved the review. Love the song more. It's a brilliant ode to sadness

My anxiety doesn't allow me to appreciate doom unfortunately, I always fall asleep to it.

„LET'S DO THIS!!! ...stool doesnt spin” I laughed my ass off!

Dibs on the name The Sadness Buffalo for an American Blackened Folk Funeral Doom project. Great review!

Amazing t-shirt

i really like this guy doing reviews

"all parts of the sadness buffalo"

Someone introduced me to this album, and now I can't get enough Bell Witch. I tried searching for other bands with similar sounds, but have not been successful. Anyone know anyone else that sounds similar?

Sounds a cool album though will check it out

I just want to thank you for reviewing actual metal albums! I follow a few metal pages on Facebook like Metal hammer and all i ever see is posts about the same old shit like Machine Head and Avenged Sevenfold. There's more metal bands out there than the 5 people have heard of!

I listened this song a lot while reading Dune

So fucking pumped for this album, m great review

I started to listen to different genres of metal because of the reviews you guys give. This album has gained more importance due to the death of my sister. I should probably not listen to this type of music, yet I believe you need to get the sadness out in order to keep moving forward. I'll miss you always sweet little sister

I just listened to this on Amazon music. Very very nice. My wife was unimpressed and confused as to what and why I was listen to.
