"...Soulpreacher practices a doom death [style] with stoner/sludge influences with the most beautiful effect. An interesting discovery."

| "North Carolina´s SOULPREACHER have matured as a band and the songs are much stronger than on the debut. They have a lot of good hooklines, but their music is still dark and melancholic with a lot of anger about the world we live in. A lot of different influences from Metal to 70´s Heavyrock are making SOULPREACHER to one of the better acts, that are playing heavy and raw nihilistic Doomrock (or should I write Sludge?).

| Evil. Incredibly evil. Dark and southern, creepy and crawly, Soulpreacher are the undead of rock bands. Musically, this is pretty varied in tempo and dynamics but it all manages to sound evil. "When the Black Sunn Rises..." is the record to get from these guys, as it is much MUCH better than their Man's Ruin release from several months ago. It ranges from the heavy southern blues rock of the title track to the evil southern space rock of "Kingdom". Liberal doses of Iommi riffs provide a base for the vocals to spew forth from. And ohhhh, those vocals. More tortured and pained than Eyehategod and also deeper. This is some twisted stuff. I like it. I like it a lot... a very good CD."
