At its best, the un-unlikely Rorcal/Earthflesh crossover is a far-reaching doom devastation, sectioned and perfectly constructed, with relentless instrumental finesse and borderline evil noisy mixing. At its worst, it's meandering and uninviting. Sure, one automatically is being set up for the latter when dealing with drone, doom or sludge genres, but that is precisely where an artist's skill is at play the most. Rorcal and Earthflesh don't manage to engage particularly well in such moments, which are actually rare. But they make up for it any time they move in other directions.
