The new long-awaited masterpiece from Revelations of Rain does not aim for demonstration of novel inventions presenting perfect gloomy doom death metal which found response in the hearts of music lovers. Its essence lies in sound and style recognizable from the very first chords: pure atmospheric sound, diverse arrangements combining hasteless guitar riffs with keyboard support and up-tempo majestic interludes. Despite its dark and severe music the band leaves the space for inspired melodies. Deep growl is donated by the guest vocalist Arsagor who worked with the band during recording their debut album "Marble Shades of Despair".

"Deceptive Virtue" filled with melancholy and endless despair is the best witness of high status of the one of the leading Russian doom death metal bands.

4. Obmanchivaja Dobrodetel’ (instrumental)

The second full-length album by doom/death metal from Saudi Arabia is their first officialyy issued release (the debut album was self-released by the band in 2009). Five monolith blocks on two CDs, almost two hours of depressing and brutal doom/death metal framed by morbid lyrics. There is no mercy or salvation: the most powerful elements of the genre are involved: solid guitar sound, deadly riffs and brutal vocals. The gravestones are polished by the masters of sound depression: Greg Chandler (Esoteric) and Victor Santura. The album is not recommended to impressive persons due to overwhelming negative and tendency to nervous breakdown. If this planet would be destroyed by musical forms, "Merely the Fleshless We and the Awed Obsequy…" by Grieving Age will undoubtedly be a part of this final mankind performance.
