"Slights and Abuse/The Sycophant (originally released as two separate limited edition LPs) literally leaps out at you and barely pauses over the course of its nine songs. The first three songs pummel the listener with a thunderous barrage of heavy that could be described as a syrupy, swampy form of grindcore. It's not until “Fatal Lack” that the band reverts back to a slower tempo and settles into an evil 15 minutes of crusty doom. If the Slights and Abuse half of the album focuses on raw, primal aggression, then the Sycophant portion is where the band explores new sonic directions. The production, once again courtesy of Sanford Parker, isn't as oppressively thick as on The Unquiet Sky, but the extra breathing room creates a bigger, more dynamic sound. The band's turned a corner on Slights and Abuse/The Sycophant - they've become more than just another doom band. They're now something far more evil sounding."
