US Funeral Doom Metal. This is really slow & crushing but at the same time carefully constructed & thought through. The vocals are delightfully guttural & deep as well! Interesting lyrics, particularly on the last track. Recommended! bmurator

The reason is summarized in the reason why I love extreme doom: it's a matter of focus, intentions that never get diverted from one nature: the appeal for doom, and all emotions, visions, states of being the term implies.. It's a one-colour core that makes the whole. The limits of Arche's music embraces all doom is about; how can I not be very pleased with that? Bertrand Marchal

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022

This is an enchanting album that really transports us to the funereal and sentimental romanticism of the late 18th and 19th century through the excellent instrumental atmosphere, ethereal vocals, classical instruments and the unprecedented addition of distorted bass that replaces the guitars. The poetry of the lyrics is intense. Obsequies is highly recommended to all goth and doom lovers. Felin Frost
